I am creating some Load tests using VS2012. I can run the tests using a StorageType of “None”, but when I change this to a StorageType of “Database” I get the dreaded error

The load test results database could not be opened. Check that the
load test results database specified by the connect string for your
test controller (or local machine) specifies a database that contains
the load test schema and that is currently available. For more
information, see the Visual Studio help topic ‘About the Load Test
Results Store’. The connection error was: An error occurred while
attempting to create the load test results repository schema: To
create the database ‘LoadTest2010’ your user account must have the
either the SQL Server ‘sysadmin’ role or both the ‘serveradmin’ and
‘dbcreator’ roles

I have created a database on a non local copy of SQL called LoadTest. When I test the connection from the SQL Tracing Connect String dialog I get a success.

I have created a SQL user that has the Server Roles of dbcreator, public, serveradmin and sysadmin. The user has a User Mapping to the LoadTest2010 database that was created from the loadtestresultsrepository.sql in the VS2012 IDE directory. On the database the user has the Database role memberships db_accessadmin, db_datareader, db_datawriter, db_owner.
In the Owned Schemas i ticked on the db_datareader, db_datawriter, db_owner and db_securityadmin howver these have now gone to a blue square instead of a tick when displayed.

So what’s going on? Is Visual studio trying to create the database or is something else the issue?

I am not using TestControllers or TestAgents I am simply using a local run.

    The answer was simple. I was setting up the connection string in the “SQL Tracing Connect String” instead of clicking the little “Manage Test Controller” icon at the top of my load test window and setting up the connection string from there.

    Now I’m off to remove some of those superfluous permissions I created on that SQL user 🙂

    Edit:

    enter image description here

    The SQL Connection String is NOT stored in the loadtest files. The setting seems to be PC specific so I had to change it on the build server – in one loadtest file (address.loadtest) as shown, then all the other loadtests adopt the same connection string.
