Error 911

Severity Level 16

Message Text

Attempt to locate entry in Sysdatabases for database '%.*s' by name failedľno entry found under that name. Make sure that name is entered properly.

Explanation

This error occurs when attempting to use (with the USE statement) a database that does not exist or when the default database set up for a login does not exist. In the latter case, the user login then attempts to access the master database.

Action

You may want to obtain a list of databases by using the sp_helpdb system stored procedure, or by issuing the following command:

SELECT name from master..sysdatabases

The list returned will contain the databases that exist on the SQL Server. You must create a missing database or connect to an existing one. You might also need to use the sp_defaultdb system stored procedure to correct login-level errors.
