Errors running script

Hello,

I am trying to import my database to Godaddy's servers. In Microsoft SQL Server Management I generate scripts for my database. I then change the connection to Godaddy's SQL Server. I then execute the script and get the following errors:

Msg 262, Level 14, State 1, Line 2

I don't know how to change permissions on the database. Can anyone please help with these errors?

Your very first statement - "CREATE DATABASE" is failing with a "Permission Denied" message. It could be a permissions issue, or it could be because of the next error message - which says the compatibility level has to be 90, 100, or 110. That is SQL 2005, 2008 or 2012. Look in the script that you created to see if it specifies a compatibility level lower than 90 or higher than 110. If it does, you will need to fix that.

If it is a permissions issue, consult Godaddy.

Thanks,

I set the compatibility to 110 and this got rid of some errors. I have already contacted godaddy and they state I have the necessary permissions on their server. Can anyone provide anymore help? I am still getting the following errors:

After you get the error, Run

EXEC sp_who2

Look for the database in the list. It's possible that a connection was not terminated. If you find any connections to the database, Run

KILL SPID

where SPID is the SPID for the sessions that are connected to the database.

Try your script after all connections to the database are removed.

5

From what? If it was less than 90 then it implies to me that the Script is designed to run on very old, outdated, versions of SQL.

What is the statement at the beginning of the script which results in this error?

CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.

Perhaps there are reserved words in the database name, or something else, which is causing SQL to generate a Permissions error when in fact the error is something else.

From later messages it looks the database name is "aspnet-Paintings" - the Hyphen is going to cause all sorts of grief if the database names are not being properly escaped by GoDaddy's script ...

Thanks. When I run KILL spid I get:

Msg 6102, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
User does not have permission to use the KILL statement.

I am running SSMS as administrator.

The compatibility was 120 and I set it to 110.

The first statement of my script is:

CREATE DATABASE [aspnet-Paintings]
CONTAINMENT = NONE
ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'aspnet-Paintings', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\aspnet-Paintings.mdf' , SIZE = 3264KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'aspnet-Paintings_log', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\aspnet-Paintings_log.ldf' , SIZE = 832KB , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO

7

More likely than not, the path of your physical files is not what GoDaddy expects. Your script tries to create the files in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\ which is the default location when you install SQL 2012 Express. But GoDaddy may want you to store your files in a different location. Send them the create statement you posted and ask them where the physical files should be located.

CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
[/quote] You are trying to create in your database and not master? (USE databasename;)

Your script was generated for SQL Server 2014 (Compatibility Level 120) so it may well contain statements incompatible / more modern than the SQL Server 2012 (Compatibility Level 110) that you are trying to run it on

"CONTAINMENT = NONE" was introduced in SQL 2012, and is not compatible with the previous version SQL 2008 R2 ... there may well be plenty more subtle differences like that in the script. If you can re-generate the script for backward compatibility to the version you are actually deploying onto I think that might save some hassle over any other Gotchas like that.

But all that said I can't see why you are getting

CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.

I agree that "C:\Program Files" is a rubbish location for a database, and it could well be that Go Daddy doesn't allow that, but if that is actually the cause then the error message is rubbish and gives no useful clue as to what the underlying problem is.

I don't think you have enough permissions to create the database. Perhaps you are logged on as a user with lowly permissions (and perhaps Go Daddy has an alternative, higher permission, login that is available to you ...)

SELECT user_name()

will confirm your actual login

You could, then, try:

USE master;
EXECUTE sp_addsrvrolemember @loginame = N'YourUserLogin', @rolename = N'dbcreator';

but I suspect that if you have permission to elevate your permissions then you wouldn't get the error in the first place :).

You can try to check whether you have the necessary role:

SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('public', 'N'YourUserLogin')

that should return 1 ... if it returns NULL it presumably means that you do not have permissions to use IS_SRVROLEMEMBER() ...

If that does return 1 then you could try:

SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('dbcreator', 'N'YourUserLogin')

to see if you have Database Create Permission. If not then I suggest you speak to Go Daddy, because that would indicate, to me, that contrary to what they told you that you don't actually have database create permission. Not with that login, anyway.

Thanks. SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('public', N'YourUserLogin') returns NULL

Did the SELECT USERNAME() return what you expected?

SELECT user_name() returns loriha which is my username.

Another thought. Try to run a simple script to create a test database with no options at all.

CREATE DATABASE MyTestDatabase;

That should succeed on any version of SQL Server, as long as you have the right permissions. If that fails, ask GoDaddy to take it up and help you. If that does succeed, add additional options in your create statement and see where it fails.

When you are done with testing, you can remove the test database using

DROP DATABASE MyTestDatabase;

You did change "YourUserLogin" to your actual login, right?
