I am trying to import one point feature table "Point" to the SQL Server using the import option by right-clicking on the database connection folder under catalog. The new file name for the SQL database is "Point_1" I am getting an error msg and am unable to import the file to the SQL Server under the desired database (BRISK_AIS). I can see that a table in the SQL database but it is empty. SQL database connection is working fine. I am able to drag table files from SQL Server database i.e. BRISK_AIS to ArcGIS window without any problem.

Any idea of this problem and a possible solution?

See figure below for illustration.

When trying to import data into a feature dataset inside an enterprise geodatabase the copier must be the user that owns the feature dataset.

Here, In SQL Server, if the user is granted the Server Role sysadmin then that user will be recognized as the DBO. When the user creates data in the database it will be <database_name>.DBO.<feature_class_name>.

A possible solution to the issue.:

  1. Make sure that the user trying to add data into a feature dataset is the owner of the feature dataset
  2. If the user is the owner of the feature dataset, make sure the user hasn't been granted a sysadmin role (only in SQL Server)
  3. In SQL Server Management Studio, navigate to the Security folder of the instance Open Logins
  4. Right-click the Login>Properties
  5. Under Server Roles, make sure the user doesn't have a sysadmin role
  6. If the sysadmin role is given, try revoking the role and adding the data into the feature dataset again

  • Thanks for reply. Regarding feature class "Point", I have made this file in ArcGIS and owns this and located in my local folder. Regarding SQL server, I have checked in the sysadmin that I am not registered with a sysadmin role. In the figure it is shown that a new table is formed with <database_name>.DBO.<feature_class_name> i.e. BRISK_AIS.DBO.Points1 but it is emply. Is there anything else I should check?
