This tutorial explains to you how to create a SQL Server database. This article has a step-by-step approach.

Here are the steps for creating a SQL Server database using the SQL Server Management Studio:

Click on "Database" -> Right Click on "New Database".

Enter the name of the new database, the owner of the database and the database files (data & log files).

Click on "Options" and modify or let the default values.

Click on "Filegroup" in order to add filegroups and click on "OK". A new database will be created.

And here is the new SQL Server database created in SQL Server Management Studio.

Here is the code for creating this SQL Server database:

USE [master]
GO
 
CREATE DATABASE [mydatabase]
 CONTAINMENT = NONE
 ON  PRIMARY
( NAME = N'mydatabase', 
  FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\mydatabase.mdf' , 
  SIZE = 8192KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 65536KB )
 LOG ON
( NAME = N'mydatabase_log', 
  FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\mydatabase_log.ldf' , 
  SIZE = 8192KB , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 65536KB )
GO
 
ALTER DATABASE [mydatabase] SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 130
GO
 
IF (1 = FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'))
begin
EXEC [mydatabase].[dbo].[sp_fulltext_database] @action = 'enable'
end
