You should be able to execute DDL statements. What happened when you tried? Did you get an error message?

[Praveen Kumarji]

yes i am getting error

java.sql.SQLException: CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.

here is my test code-

public class Test {
	
// JDBC driver name and database URL
	   static final String JDBC_DRIVER = "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver";  
	   static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://10.96.11.31:1433;useNTLMv2=true;domain=myDomain";
	   public static void main(String[] args) {
		   Connection conn = null;
		   Statement stmt = null;
		   try{
		      //STEP 2: Register JDBC driver
		      Class.forName(JDBC_DRIVER);

		      //STEP 3: Open a connection
		      System.out.println("Connecting to database...");
		      conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL);

		      //STEP 4: Execute a query
		      System.out.println("Creating database...");
		      stmt = conn.createStatement();
		      
		      String sql = "CREATE DATABASE STUDENTS";
		      stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
		      System.out.println("Database created successfully...");
		   }catch(SQLException se){
		      //Handle errors for JDBC
		      se.printStackTrace();
		   }catch(Exception e){
		      //Handle errors for Class.forName
		      e.printStackTrace();
		   }finally{
		      //finally block used to close resources
		      try{
		         if(stmt!=null)
		            stmt.close();
		      }catch(SQLException se2){
		      }// nothing we can do
		      try{
		         if(conn!=null)
		            conn.close();
		      }catch(SQLException se){
		         se.printStackTrace();
		      }//end finally try
		   }//end try
		   System.out.println("Goodbye!");
		}//end main
		}//end JDBCExample

The user you connect with does not have permission to create databases. Speak to your SQL Server admin.

[Praveen Kumarji]

yes I knew that, but my problem is that I have to prepare database on remote machine (which will be having SQL server 2005 installed on it and i have to login into that using window authentication) for the use of my application (creation of user and database) by using JDBC only.

can you please suggest how my user can be added to database as sysadmin role, or any other idea if you have? I think using SQL CMD it is possible but dont know how!!!

Your DB admin should create a user/add the privilege to an existing user. You should talk to your SQL server admin as Paul suggested.

You don;t need a user in sysadmin role to create databases, the user just needs that specific operation granted to them. You can alter your user via T-SQL (run from Java code if needs be) but my guess is you will probably not have permission to do that either. Speaking to your database admin will speed this process up no end.
