Question

I'm new using the tool of azure data studio, and when trying to create a database I skip the following error.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any solutions. By the way I work on a machine with Kubuntu 19.10 in case it has something to do with it.

I use this code to create the database:

-- Create a new database called 'DATA_1'
-- Connect to the 'master' database to run this snippet
USE master
GO
-- Create the new database if it does not exist already
IF NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT [name]
        FROM sys.databases
        WHERE [name] = N'DATA_1'
)
CREATE DATABASE DATA_1
GO

Could you share your code that produces that error – nbk Mar 30 '20 at 15:29 — nbk, Mar 30 '20 at 15:29

Solved, the problem was that you had to make a sudo mssql chgrp and the path of the folder where the mdf and ldf are saved
