Inconsistent SQL database and file naming conventions in the latest IMC 7.1

[raf2]

Greetings,

Just had to post this after going through the trouble to move all my IMC SQL log files to their own partition like they should be.. unfortunately IMC setup does not allow you to set log file locations or database naming standards. This might be acceptable for a freeware app, but this is far from freeware. I assume it is because they have different groups working on all the different pieces and they don't talk to each other or follow naming standards.

Below is the T-SQL to change the location of log files for all 12 databases including an option wlan module. This is still a very manual process which would be made easier if programmers used consistent naming conventions for database and file names.

Hey HP please set some consistent standards for all your IMC pieces... or even better let us dumb users specify log file locations during setup!

T-SQL to move the logfiles from the E: drive to L: drive.. you have to manually select snipits below to detach each DB, manually copy logfile then attach the database... drag
