I am trying to create an SQL Server database under the free tier options in AWS.
After going through the standard options - database name, password, public/private access, etc.. I press the create database button. I get the following screen.
But the database never gets created. I saw multiple tutorials.. but I haven't seen a similar problem. Does anyone have a clue what am I doing wrong?

I got a SSRS 2008 web edition instance (which was migrated from 2005 standard edition) and I need to change some security for a new folder I`ve just created.
When I go on report server web page (http://rsServerName.xyz/Reports), enter the new folder, go on folder properties, then when I click on Security, web page returns an error The user or group name 'xxx' is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName)
I`ve checked the user in database - it exists, it has some items (reports) assigned to it, seems fine just like other users from database.
I first thought to just go into database and remove the entries from PolicyUserRole for users that aren't allowed into that folder, but there's also some info in SecData, and maybe some other places, and also found that microsoft doesn't support any queries against their reportserver database, so that might not be the brightest idea :)
Does anyone know any other way to remove the security from a specific folder ? Or maybe things to look at for this user name that it fails ? Another thing to mention, all security problems started when server was migrated from 2005 standard to 2008 web edition.
Thanks.
The only possible way to fix this was to remove the user completely and add it back. During the migration described above several user's permissions were affected, and the only way to fix was to re-create them from scratch - not elegant, but worked.
Solution - find the user, remove, add back.
I have a problem with Cpanel, or atleast with my database, because i cant see my database trough either cpanel,mysql databases or phpmyadmin but when i tried to run a import sql script it states that the database exists. How can i access my database, i have heard some databasemapping resets on cpanel level but the problem is that i cant access the server on any way(only my site via FTP ofcourse).
It looks like i dont have permission, also my firstly created (head mysql account) is gone, or atleast i cant login with the same credentials as before. Whenever i try to add an mysql user it says completed(user created succesfully) but when looking at all users there aren't any users stated.
Sounds strange doesn't it?
I hope someone knows the answer, i need the database back.
You can use Adminer for importing and exporting data via ftp. Please try.
I recently installed Oracle XE 11g on my machine and am trying to make a connection to it from a winform project.
I have created a new table in sqldeveloper, the connection settings I used in sql developer are:
connection_name : xe
User : SYSTEM
password : **
host : localhost
port : 1521
SID : xe
In my WinForms project i have created a simple gridview and am trying to use the wizard to create a new data course but when I do, I get a bunch of tables but I cannot see my table I created.
Also, in sql developer i cannot see the JOBS, JOBS_HISTORY, etc tables but in the data source wizard they appear in the list of available tables.
I suspect I have somehow made a connection to the wrong database! If someone could kindly tell me what I'm doing horribly wrong I would be very grateful as I'm hitting my head against the wall on this as it does not make much sense to me.
Ok i stupdily didnt realise i needed to create a new users and then create a table under that user.
Once i did that i could see the table in the data source in visual studio. I'm guessing tables owned by the System user cannot be seen to other people/application and is only visible to the administrator?
I have a database in a local file that is used by a program. The program has limited functionality and I needed to run some quick queries. I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 (SSMSE), connected to the SQL Server instance, attached the database file, and ran the queries. Now the original program will no longer connect to the database. I receive the error:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'MyComputer\MyUserName'.
I've gone back into SSMSE and tried to set the default database. I've opened up Security, Logins, BUILTIN\Administrators and BUILTIN\Users. Under General, I have set the default database to the program's database. Under User Mappings, I made sure the database is ticked and that db_datareader and db_datawriter are ticked.
The program uses the connection string:
Server=(local)\Instance; AttachDbFilename=C:\PathToDatabase\Database.mdf; Integrated Security=True; User Instance=True;
I know jack-all about database administration. What else am I missing?
This may not be answering your question specifically, but it may help others with similar issue caused by different problem
In my case the problem was my user is defaulted to a database which is not accessible for any reason (can be renamed, removed, corrupted or ...)
To solve the issue just follow the following instruction
Try to login again on the login page there is other tabs select
"Connection Properties".
under the tab locate "Connect to database" and select an existing database you have access to like tempdb or master
Once you are connected to the SQL Server Instance execute the below TSQL to assign the login a new default database.
Use master
GO
ALTER LOGIN [yourloginname] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = TempDB
GO
Alternatively once you connected change your default database name to master via UI

This problem manifested for me when I took my default db offline. Next thing I know I couldn't login. Switching to the Connection Properties tab and selecting the drop down to change the database I want to connect to also failed.
It let me in right away once I manually typed master as the db I wanted to connect to (on the Connection Properties tab).
First, try to isolate your problem:
Take a backup of the file! Some of the steps below can, apparently, in some circumstances cause the file to vanish.
Are you sure you are connecting to the same instance through Management Studio as the program is?
If possible, try to shut down the instance that you are not expecting to use.
Set the user's default database to master and try to make the program logon.
Try to login as the user through Management Studio - since you have integrated security, you should open Management Studio as the program's user.
Are you using "User instances" - perhaps without knowing it? If so, this may be helpful: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlexpress/archive/2006/11/22/connecting-to-sql-express-user-instances-in-management-studio.aspx
I haven't worked much with files being attached in the way your program does - but you write that you attached the DB in the Management Studio as well. Have you tried detaching it there before running your program? Perhaps you are seeing the Management Studio and your program competing for exclusive access to the MDF-file?
EDIT: I added point 6 above - this is new in my own list of TODOs when troubleshooting this type of Login failed. But it does sound a lot like what you're experiencing.
EDIT2: In the first edit, new item was added to the list. So the numbers in the comments doesn't correspond with the numbers in the answer.
I finally figured this out, and my situation is different than every other I've read about tonight.
I had restored my database from a backup. I knew that there was a particular login user that I had been using, so I created that user in SSMS. However, there was already a user by that name under the database that had come in with the backup.
Since I had screwed around so much trying to fix this, I wasn't able to delete the user under the DB easily. I deleted the database and restored again. Then:
Delete the user under the Databases->[my database]->Users
Create the user again in Security->Logins (not under your DB, although that probably works too.
Go to the newly created user. Select properties. Then under User Mappings, tell it to make your database the default. Give it read and write access.
Summary: I had two users. One that came with the DB, and one that I had created. Remove the one that came with the DB and create your own.
First click on Option>> Button of “Connect to Server” Prompt.
Now change the connect to database to any existing database on your server like master or msdb.

I've also had this same problem, it turned out that I was trying to access the built in membership classes (in a view), and that .Net was trying to create the database in the App_Data folder:
#Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey
This will trigger the system to try and create a database based in the built in membership system, which may not be the way your system is setup.
I had a similar problem had to simply download SQL Express Utility that is capable of starting User Instances. SSEUtil is a tool written by the Visual Studio team to help troubleshoot User Instance issues, you can read more about it in the read me file that is installed with the utility.

Hope this will help.
In my case I had to set "connect to any database" right path:
On your instance, go to Security , then to Logins.
Right Click on there, you will see properties and you should click on Securables.
There it give possibility to connect to any database.
I am a software developer with devlopment experience in C#, C++ .Net alongwith SQL Server 2005/08, Oracle and mysql. But somehow i dont get jBASE to work at Windows XP SP3 machine.
My goal is setup user accounts, create database on a JBASE ainstallation, authenticate and backup/restore few table via a C++ program. And i dont need to do it with builtin backup/restore tools of jBASE.
I am able to install jBASe 4.1 aling with all its accessories on my WINXPSP3 machine. I was able to run the jSlimserver and TEMENOUS server along with licnesing server. I was able to add the license key as well. But after that what i was supposed to do? i have no idea about it.
The docs and online help doesnt answer a simple question of how to create a database! The google search results from the jbase site all go to the 404 Pages!
Can a jBASE expert guide to the following steps:
Create a jBASE database.
Create users
Authenticate via those users
Connect to database
Create tables and insert data.
Connect via a C++ or C# program to connect to jBASE DB and backup/restore tables.
I know that this is too much too ask but i dont get to get the JBASE system. I cant get it to work on my System somehow. Btw, jdc and jexloree doesnt seem to do anything. I have checked that enironmental variables for jBASE are setup correctly and i have verified them. There are no extra JRE or JDK installations on my system. Besides all that, only licensing client, slim server and temenous server seem to run and listen for connections and no other execuatable ever seems to work.
A simple tutorial to achieve the objective will be highly appreciated. Also if anyone can point out the mistake that i have done or anything i might need to check, then please do so. I will be highly encouraged and obliged.
Thanks
Steve
I hope this will help, if you have not already found a why to do this.
Setup jBase User and Database
Create a Security Group called
'Jbase' or what every you want to
call it
Add a User to this group. I would
recommend adding your administrator
user to it as well
Create a folder in you file system
to save the database information
into
Assign the 'Jbase' Security group to
the folder, and give it "Full"
read/write/execute access.
Creating the database:
Make sure the current users you
are logged on with is the 'Jbase'
security group.
go to the command prompt, and CD
to the folder you create to store
the database
run the jShell 'jsh' from that
location
use CREATE-FILE to create the
files/tables you want to store your
information in.
Inserting data:
There are several ways to enter data. You can use ED, your can your programming environment, or you can create a quick MultiValue/jBase compiled server script to ask for the data and write them to a file/table.
