    How to migrate existing indexes to a different file group?

    Is there any utility to migrate the existing indexes on default filegroup to a new user defined file group? The only way that I know is to delete the index and recreate with new filegroup.

    How about for table? Is there any utility for migrating the existing tables to a different filegroup? The only way that I know is to create a clustered index on the new filegroup which will move the table to the new filegroup. If a clustered index exists then drop the clustered index and recreate it with the new filegroup

    I am looking for an existing utility which would do the above?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanx in advance.
