Python: CREATE TABLE permission denied in database 'master'

Question

I am trying to get the Field no from NAV using the approach i found on: https://redthree.com/nav-object-field-and-option-numbers-in-the-sql-server-database/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nav-object-field-and-option-numbers-in-the-sql-server-database

And it works great! until i have to get the data back to MSSQL database I get the following exception on the last to lines:

(pyodbc.ProgrammingError) ('42000', "[42000] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]CREATE TABLE permission denied in database 'master'. (262) (SQLExecDirectW)")

The weird thing is that i am not trying to connect to the master database, but a database where i am db.owner and i have permission to create tables...

i Am using Visual studio and Python 3.9

Below is the code i am tying to run

import zlib, sys, struct
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

Driver = "ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server"
Server = "Server"
Database = "DB"
ConnectionsString = "Driver={" +Driver+ "}; Server="+Server+"; Database ="+Database+"; Trusted_Connection=yes;"
conn = pyodbc.connect(ConnectionsString)


SQLQuery = """

for name, tableNo, TableName, Metadata in ObjectMetaData.itertuples():

        MetaDataToDecompress = MetaDataToDecompress[4:]

        output = zlib.decompress(MetaDataToDecompress, -15)

        print(output.decode("utf-8"))

        OutputFileName = "NAV Table - " + str(tableNo) + ".xml"

# here we take our dataframes and put them into SQL
dfNAVFieldNames.to_sql("NAVFieldNames",con=engine,schema=Schema,if_exists="append",index=False)
dfNAVFieldOptions.to_sql("NAVFieldOptions",con=engine,schema=Schema,if_exists="append",index=False)

i hope someone can point me ind the right direction! :)

Answer 1

i found the Solution I was using the driver "ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server" when i should be using the SQL "Server Native Client 11.0" I worked in my case :)
