Moving a log file

Hi,
I know that I can detach a database, move the log file(s) and then
re-attach, but what is the
syntax to do it with Alter Database (or is it even possible)? I have
searched high and low and only found examples
that use sp_detach_db
Thanks,
Dan
For 2000, no syntax using ALTER DATABASE except for tempdb.
For 2005, you can use ALTER DATABASE. See below 2005 BOL URL:

|||Thanks Tibor,
I know I had used it for tempdb and thought maybe I could use it for
'regular' db's.
