SQL Server Forum / General / Other SQL Server Topics / February 2007Stored procedure to create a new database with tables
I want my application to create a new database/tables when run for the first time. I have created a stored procedure to create the new database named "budget". When I run the stored procedure, it creates the budget database but the tables are created in the "master" database. Please help. Before the CREATE TABLE statements you should put this: USE Budget go > I want my application to create a new database/tables when run for the > first time. I have created a stored procedure to create the new > database named "budget". When I run the stored procedure, it creates > the budget database but the tables are created in the "master" > database. Please help. > Before the CREATE TABLE statements you should put this: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > - Show quoted text - I tried using the USE statement, but it's not allowed in stored procedure: "a USE database statement is not allowed in a procedure, function or trigger." >> Before the CREATE TABLE statements you should put this: >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > procedure: "a USE database statement is not allowed in a procedure, > function or trigger." Correct, USE is not really transact-SQL it's a control statement for query analyzer, etc. Off hand I'm not sure of a solution to your problem, but google may. I seem to recall others having similar problems. Generally though what you want to do is done by a series of scripts, not a single stored proc. Shiller, Use a three part qualifier in your create table statement: create table MyDB.dbo.MyTable ... -- Bill >>> Before the CREATE TABLE statements you should put this: >>> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Generally though what you want to do is done by a series of scripts, not a > single stored proc. > Shiller, > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Thank you so much Bill, your technique works. > I want my application to create a new database/tables when run for the > first time.

Please help. This is a case where it's better to run statements from the client. After all, somehow that stored procedure needs to be written somewhere, and I don't think it's a good idea to write it to the master database. Alternatively, you can put it a file that you run from OSQL or SQLCMD.
