In the copy of Books Online I have it suggests ALTER DATABASE SET OFFLINE.
Does it really say sp_detach_db in yours?
This may be possible if you have an old version. I see now that the page
was updated on 5 December 2005, and the Change History says "Corrected the
steps in all procedures.".
See my signature for a link do download the updated Books Online.
Here is what my Books Online says:
To move a data or log file as part of a planned relocation, follow these
steps:
Run the following statement.
ALTER DATABASE database_name SET OFFLINE
Move the file or files to the new location.
For each file moved, run the following statement.
ALTER DATABASE database_name MODIFY FILE
( NAME = logical_name, FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name' )
Run the following statement.
ALTER DATABASE database_name SET ONLINE
Verify the file change by running the following query.
SELECT name, physical_name AS CurrentLocation, state_desc
FROM sys.master_files
WHERE database_id = DB_ID(N'<database_name>');
> The Filegroups will be seen without any other change, right?
I don't know, and I don't have a multi-filegroup database to try on.
In any case, what I had in mind was ALTER DATABASE SET OFFLINE. Since
I did not remember the procedures exactly, I found link and posted
that. Sorry if that lead you to an old version that was incorrect.
