Insufficient RAM for LocalDB Creation

If there is insufficient RAM to create a LocalDB, leading to a "Failed to create a tenant" error in the log file, the issue may be attributed to low available memory on the system. This specific error message, "Failed to create a tenant," serves as an indicator in the log file, highlighting the connection between the error and inadequate RAM.

Resolution

1. Examine the installed log file for relevant information. Look for entries indicating "Failed to create a tenant."
2. Identify and terminate non-essential processes consuming system memory to release RAM.
3. Attempt to create the LocalDB instance again after freeing up sufficient memory.
