After database migration, connecting to iBase database in Designer fails without error

Troubleshooting


Problem

We recently migrated our upsized database, and I want to open my database in iBase Designer.
I'm able to successfully Log in, by connecting to my .ids security file.
When I click "File-->Open Database", nothing happens.  I am still connected to the .ids file, and I can click "File-->Open Database" again and again, but it never actually connects me to my database.  No error is thrown.

Cause

If the userid you're using to connect to SQL Server does is not mapped as a user for the backend SQL Server database, you see this symptom.

Diagnosing The Problem

Run the iBase Database Configuration Tool.
Make a note of the Login Name used in the second pane.

As SQL Server Administrator, review your SQL Server 

Resolving The Problem

Make sure that the SQL Server user has been mapped with minimally Public access privileges to the SQL Server database.
