Question

I am trying to create a database from a SQL query I’ve been sent. Should point out SQL is not my strong point.

The following is declared at the start of the query:

:setvar DatabaseName "Database"
:setvar DefaultDataPath ""
:setvar DefaultLogPath ""

I have run the query in command mode and am getting the following error:

Creating Database…
Msg 5105, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
A file activation error occurred. The physical file name ‘DB.mdf’ may be incorrect. Diagnose and correct additional errors, and retry the operation.

Msg 1802, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.
An error was encountered during execution of batch. Exiting.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Can’t post full query as is very long and contains sensitive info but is cut down version up to the point that seems to cause the error.

IF (DB_ID(N'$(DatabaseName)') IS NOT NULL)

put some physical path in the following line:

:setvar DefaultDataPath ""

like;

:setvar DefaultDataPath "D:\Database"
