The Create a New Database Wizard Window gives the user access to all of the necessary options for creating a database.

Both the Host Name and Display Name are displayed under Host Settings. Under SQL Connection Settings, the user can select both the SQL Server and the Database Name. The user can also select to Include Sample Data. Settings for both the File Size and Log File Size are also available. The user can specify the Initial Size, the Size Growth (in either MB or percent), and the Maximum Size.

Click OK once you have made your database file size changes to close the dialog box, then in the wizard click Finish.
Your New SQL Server Configuration Database now appears in the Project Explorer under the Workbench server (for example, "localhost") in the Project Explorer. The database will be inactive until you activate it.
