Cannot enable Full-Text search on Azure SQL Database V12

Question

I'm trying to enable Full-Text search on my Azure SQL Database. I upgraded my DB to V12 Standard instance. The upgrade has got completed successfully. I say that because the Status says "Online" on the portal. However, when I execute this command below,

CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG ftCatalog AS DEFAULT;

it throws an error saying,

Msg 9972, Level 16, State 100, Line 2 
Database is not fully started up or it is not in an ONLINE state. Try the full-text DDL command again after database is started up and becomes ONLINE.

I am following this blog post

What could be wrong?

Answer 1

Executing the below two statements by connecting to the database as well fixes this if in case you want to avoid the round trip of communicating to MSFT.

 Alter database [dbname] set read_committed_snapshot off with rollback immediate
Alter database [dbname] set read_committed_snapshot on with rollback immediate
