## I get the error message: “Database ‘RAW’ does not exist or not authorized.”

## I’m trying to follow step 1 of [Quickstart for dbt and Snowflake | dbt Developer Hub](https://docs.getdbt.com/quickstarts/snowflake?step=3)

## I’m totally new to this so I have no idea what to try to fix.

## This is the code I pasted on the worksheet per instruction:

create warehouse transforming;  
create database raw;  
create database analytics;  
create schema raw.jaffle\_shop;  
create schema raw.stripe;

Thanks in advance for your help!

I had the same issue. Instead of clicking ‘Run’, you should click ‘Run All’.
