DBName must be null for engine error at AWS - RDS

I am trying to create an SQL Server database under the free trial package on AWS.

I am completing all of the steps and once I press create database I get the following error:

enter image description here

I tried a number of things: changing the name of the instance, the security parameters, searching for possible solutions, etc.

Any ideas where the error is pointing to?

Solution

  • I found a solution.

    The error is rather non-descriptive. The issue was that the free-tiar of the AWS program does not support the latest 2018/9 version of SQL Server Database. But it works perfectly well with the 2014 version.

    I'm posting this answer for a reference, as I lost some time on this.
