Details

Product Name	SQL Server
Product Version	10.50
Product Build Number	10.50
Event ID	1803
Event Source	MSSQLSERVER
Component	SQLEngine
Symbolic Name	NO_SPACE
Message Text	CREATE DATABASE failed. Primary file must be at least %d MB to accommodate a copy of the model database.

Explanation

SQL Server creates a database by making a copy of the model database. Then SQL Server renames the copy, and enlarges the new database to the requested size. In this case, the user tried to create a database smaller than the model database. The operation failed because the copy of the model database could not fit on the primary data file, because the file was smaller than the model database.

User Action

Create the database by using a larger database file size. Then shrink the database if you want by using SQL Server Management Studio, or the DBCC SHRINKDATABASE statement.
