I have created a segment and exclusively allocated for a database
'test' . After that i created few objects on the segment.
Now if iam trying to drop the segment ,it's saying segment is in use.
I extended 'default' segment to that device so that all the objects
will come on default once i will drop the segment.

How to move all objects from a segment and drop the segment.
(Creating clustered index is one way iam aware of)
is there any other way of moving an objects from segments.

1. sp_addsegment test_seg,test,dev2
go
Now the dev2 is exclusively used for the 'test' database.

2. sp_extendsegment "default",test,dev2
go

3. sp_dropsegment seg1,test
go
Msg 17522, Level 16, State 1:
Server 'FOREXDB125', Procedure 'sp_dropsegment', Line 200:
The segment 'seg1' is being used.

what are the ways of moving objects from segments.A

Regards

Hint: sp_placeobject '<name>', 'default' doesn't physically move the object,
but assures that future allocations are made on specified segment.
