I'm surprised that this is treated as a T-SQL issue rather than Administration, as I regard database space creation as Admin.

To me, T-SQL stands for 'Transaction(al) SQL', and I don't see much in the way of transactions for space creation. Or is this something that people do in transactions & then roll back?

Yep I said No, but if you think little bit more about creating DB details, you will said yes...the default for data file was mdf, ndf and for log files was ldf...but you can put any format doc, pdf, mp3 sure that it is not preferable couz you can confuse yourself with the files. On the other hand it is very tricky - security thing!

:hehe::hehe:

Code as indicated does not work for me either.

By adding a c:\mssql folder (did not have one on my system) AND changing the the data file folder to c:\mssql, it works.

Create Database Mytestdb

on

(

name ='Mytest_1',

Filename= 'C:\mssql\MyTEST.mp3',

size = 5000 KB

)

log on

(

name ='MyTest_2',

Filename= 'C:\mssql\MYTEST.doc',

size= 512 kb

)

But the code as written in the question will not work.

If you read BOL, you will see that for CREATE DATABASE, the directory structure must already exist. Therefor, if you are going to run this code, you should have already ensured that the directory structure you are using in the CREATE DATABASE statement already exists. Based on that, the code works. Regardless if the code failed on your system when you attempted to run it.

I have a question... I've changed the script to use C:\ for both files as follows:

Create Database Mytestdb

on

( name ='Mytest_1', Filename= 'C:\MyTEST.mp3', size = 2000 KB

)log on(

name ='MyTest_2', Filename= 'C:\MYTEST.doc', size= 512 kb)

and get the following error:

Msg 5123, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(Access is denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:\MyTEST.mp3'.

Msg 1802, Level 16, State 4, Line 1

CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.

I am administrator of my machine and the DB is installed locally and I'm sysadmin....

When I change the files to C:\temp\filenames... (with temp folder being existant)... it works!!! :ermm:

Can someone explain if this behavior is normal?? I'm suspecting that it's some type of setting on my account... :doze:

The permissions required are for the account that SQL Server is running under, not your account.

To see what account that is, open the services panel (services.msc) for example, and find the MSSQL Service.
