Password:

# create [SampleDB] database
1> create database SampleDB; 
2> go 

# create a database with parameters
1> create database SampleDB2 
2> on primary ( name = 'SampleDB2',
3> filename = '/var/opt/mssql/data/SampleDB2.mdf',
4> size = 5GB, maxsize = unlimited, filegrowth = 10MB )
5> log on ( name = 'SampleDB2_log',
6> filename = '/var/opt/mssql/data/SampleDB2_log.ldf',
7> size = 1GB, maxsize = 2GB, filegrowth = 5% )
8> go

# list databases
1> select name,create_date from sys.databases;
2> go
name                       create_date
