When there is a failure to add a database in SQL Server, you can consider the following solutions:

  1. Check the database name to ensure it is not duplicated and follows SQL Server naming conventions.
  2. Check the database file path to ensure it is valid and not being used by any other database.
  3. Check permissions: Make sure you have enough privileges to create a database. Execute the operation using an account with system administrator privileges.
  4. Check disk space: Make sure there is enough space on the disk to create the database file.
  5. Check SQL Server service: Make sure that the SQL Server service is running without any errors or faults.
  6. Check the error log: Review the error log of SQL Server, which may provide more detailed information about the failure.
  7. Restart the SQL Server service: Try restarting the SQL Server service and then attempt to create the database again.
  8. Try creating a database using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) as it offers a more intuitive interface and additional options.
  9. Contact technical support: If the above methods are unable to solve the issue, it is recommended to contact SQL Server’s technical support for further assistance and guidance.
