This section provides SQL-based instructions for manually creating the PADS4FIDS database using your preferred SQL client (e.g., SQL Server Management Studio, Azure Data Studio, etc.).

Note: Execute the following SQL commands using an account with sysadmin privileges on the SQL Server.

​
SQL Script

USE [master];
GO

-- Step 1: Create login for NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM if it does not exist
IF NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT * FROM [master].[sys].[server_principals]
    WHERE name = 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'
)
BEGIN
    CREATE LOGIN [NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM] FROM WINDOWS;
END
GO

-- Step 2: Create the PADS4FIDS database if it doesn't exist
IF DB_ID('PADS4FIDS') IS NULL
BEGIN
    CREATE DATABASE [PADS4FIDS];
END
GO

-- Step 3: Grant db_owner role to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on PADS4FIDS
USE [PADS4FIDS];
GO

IF IS_ROLEMEMBER('db_owner', 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM') = 0
BEGIN
    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_owner', 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM';
END
GO

​
Result

After running this script:

  • The NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM login is created if not already present
  • The PADS4FIDS database is created if it does not exist
  • The login is assigned db_owner rights on the newly created database

The system is now ready to connect PADS4FIDS to this database during configuration.
