Create Database

  • Hi,

    I installed a new sql server standard edition with SP4,Now i right click on databases and create new database but after clicking OK button it is taking forever and when i go to task manager it says SQL Server Enterprise Manager is not responding.

    I have no idea why i am having this problem when i am not having this problem in any other servers i have.

    Please advise with your good ideas.

  • If you open query analyzer and do an sp_who does it show any blocks? What have you defined the size of the database and log files as?

  • Without mentioning any size mean at minimum level default size of database.

    Regarding the locking/blocking,There is one lock on dbid=10 and 10 is the id of that database which i just click ok to create.Mean no locking for any existing database but for the new one which is going to create.

  • Just a couple of questions to better picture the scenario.

    1- Is this happening on a well configured database server or is it happening on a desktop/laptop?

    2- What can you see in Event Viewer and SQL Server alertlog?

  • Please post in appropriate sections so that your problems will get solved quickly 😀

    Try creating using script..

  • Which one is appropriate section please?

  • Have you tried to create database through script with same parameter values? If you successfully create through script then there is some specific problem with SSMS environment else you may concentrate on SQL Server database engine issues like locking, access rights to disk/database etc.

  • I hope your are using SQL Server version lower than SQL Server 2005 probably SQL Server 2000.Please post under that....

  • Thank Atif,I am using SQL2000 and somehow it is working fine now with script and through EM as well.

    Atif if you dont mind do you know any article or place where i can find step-by-step setup of data encryption in SQL Server 2005 (Asymetric key/Symetric key) please?

  • Thank you Nair,It is working now in both Enterprise Manager and Query Analyer through script,i think main box was slow due to a reason.

    Nair, Do you know any article or place where i can find step-by-step setup of data encryption in SQL Server 2005 (Asymetric key/Symetric key) and SSRS 2005 please ?

    Recently while considering encryption for some of my tables, i found the following articles/document very helpful. I hope this stuff will help you to implement encryption
