Can't create new database

Published 8 years ago

Hello,
I'm trying to evaluate RDM. I'd like to store my data on MSSQL (2016 express). So I've installed the MSSQL Express, then installed RDM, and now I'm trying to add an appropriate data source. I've defined the instance and the database login, but inside the "Upgrade" tab the option for creating the database is disabled. So how can I create the database?

When I test the server, I got them message "Connection successful!".
Please advise

Make sure you have a database name in the first tab, then the create & upgrade buttons will be enabled.

Thanks! It worked.
I must admit I would never guess that I need to enter anything in one tab in order to enable button in another one. I think it's not too user-friendly. If I want to create a database I think I should press a button "Create database". Then I expect to be prompted about the database name.
I would never think of entering non-existent database in the "database" field.

Hello,
We will improve this with a prompt if the database name is empty.

Hello,

This will be available in the next RDM build. The "create database" button will be available even if none is entered, and it will prompt for a name when you click on it.
