Issue
Cannot create a new Continuum database with Database Initializer.
Environment
- Continuum database
- Database Initializer
- SQL
Cause
Occasionally, when a misconfiguration occurs in Database Initializer during the database creation process, the ContinuumDev.mdf and ContinuumLog.ldf will be created in SQL but the database instance will not be created.
The presence of an existing database device will prevent SQL from creating an instance with the same name.
Resolution
Delete the ContinuumDev.mdf and ContinuumLog.ldf files in the SQL data folder and retry.
