The Art of SQL Server FILESTREAM - Red Gate Software

Chapter 8: Backup and Restore for FILESTREAM DatabasesCreating and Populating the Sample DatabaseAs usual, our preparatory step for the examples is to re-create our NorthPole database,the Items table, with the FILESTREAM column, and populate it with some fresh data.We've performed this step many times now so, without further ado, the script is inListing 8-1. The only additional point to note is that, immediately after creating thedatabase, we ALTER it to stipulate use of the FULL recovery model because we wishto perform transaction log backups for this database. It is not possible to performtransaction log backups for a database operating in SIMPLE recovery model.The script below starts with dropping the database if it already exists. In case you intendto repeatedly execute this script and subsequent exercises provided below, as part of yourtests/experiment, you might want to consider dropping the database from SSMS. Whenyou drop a database from SSMS, it will also remove the backup history from the MSDBdatabase, resulting in a cleaner environment for the new database.USE masterGO-- If the database already exists, drop and re-create itIF DB_ID('NorthPole') IS NOT NULL BEGINDROP DATABASE NorthPoleENDGO-- Create a FILESTREAM-enabled databaseCREATE DATABASE NorthPole ONPRIMARY (NAME = NorthPole,FILENAME = 'C:\ArtOfFS\Demos\Chapter8\NorthPole.mdf'), FILEGROUP NorthPole_fs CONTAINS FILESTREAM(NAME = NorthPole_fs,FILENAME = 'C:\ArtOfFS\Demos\Chapter8\NorthPole_fs')LOG ON (NAME = NorthPole_log,FILENAME = 'C:\ArtOfFS\Demos\Chapter8\NorthPole_log.ldf')GO313
