milvus connection and not creating database and collections in zlliz

[AkshayBhure098]

I have run below code but error is getting tried all methods
please try to resolve my issue I have made zlliz cluster created api key with proper given permissions still this error occurs.
in below example I have changed token for security purpose.

from pymilvus import connections

Replace with your cluster details

ENDPOINT = "https://in03-12c257bfa330beb.serverless.gcp-us-west1.cloud.zilliz.com"
TOKEN = "0cd0879f1fd2f03eb07432591c1ba318d4289f0c7b30b581fdee0fe437c9db8e87cfa0ceb8beda1dd64e48567c4ffe5fd44eca08"

Connect to the Milvus instance

client=connections.connect(uri=ENDPOINT, token=TOKEN)

print("Connected to Milvus!",client)

for above code below output
Connected to Milvus! None

and for below code
client.create_database("milvus_demo")
below output

connections.connect and MilvusClient are two different ways to interact with milvus.

1. connections is a global object to manage connections, it can maintains multiple connections. connections.connect() doesn't return anything
   example: https://github.com/milvus-io/pymilvus/blob/master/examples/orm/database.py
   usage of connections.connect

from pymilvus import (
    connections,
    db,
)
connections.connect(uri=ENDPOINT, token=TOKEN)
db.create_database()

2. MilvusClient is a local object to manage one connection.
   example: https://github.com/milvus-io/pymilvus/blob/master/examples/database.py
   usage of MilvusClient

from pymilvus import (
    MilvusClient
)
client = MilvusClient(uri=xxx, token=xxx)
client.create_database()

MilvusClient is recommended.

this error occured when I used you provided below code
from pymilvus import (
MilvusClient
)
client = MilvusClient(uri=xxx, token=xxx)
client.create_database()
all permissions are given then also problem creating

The error indicates the user has no CreateDatabase Privilege.

Hi @AkshayBhure098
Unfortunately for serverless user you can have only one database, each user is assigned to a dedicated namespace.

Maybe you should think of moving to a dedicated cluster ?
