Filegroups page

Use this page to view the filegroups or add a new filegroup to the selected database. Filegroup

types are separated into

row

filegroups, FILESTREAM data, and memory-optimized filegroups.

Row filegroups contain regular data and log files. FILESTREAM data filegroups contain

FILESTREAM data files. These data files store information about how binary large object (BLOB)

data is stored on the file system when you are using FILESTREAM storage. The options are the

same for both types of filegroups.

If FILESTREAM is not enabled, the

section will not be available. You can enable

FILESTREAM storage by using

Server Properties (Advanced Page).

For information about how SQL Server uses row filegroups, see

Database Files and Filegroups.

For more information about FILESTREAM data and filegroups, see

FILESTREAM (SQL Server).

Memory-optimized file groups are required for a database to contain one or more memory-

optimized tables.

Select to make this filegroup the default filegroup. You can have one default filegroup for rows
