[Product_Support]

Issue

On attempted creation of new database receive the below errors.

Database creation failed.

Installation Error! <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The database 'ContinuumDB' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases. >
Installation Error! <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid cursor state>
Installation Error! <[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid cursor state>

Environment

Continuum Cyberstation

Cause

The "DB File Location" in the Database Initialization dialog is not specified properly.

Resolution

1. Check where the "Data" folder resides on the SQL server
   A typical SQL Express install will have this located at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data" but depending on the type of SQL, Operating System, and if any other instances of SQL - this location could be different.
   The correct folder contains at least six files: 
   • master.mdf
   • mastlog.ldf
   • model.mdf
   • modellog.ldf
   • tempdb.mdf
   • templog.ldf
2. Type this path location into the "DB File Location" field
3. Re-attempt the Database creation.
