Create Database (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Applies to: 
SQL Server
SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory
If you select New on the Choose a Destination page to create a new SQL Server destination database, the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard shows the Create Database dialog box. On this page, you provide a name for the new database. Optionally you can also change the settings for the initial size and the automatic growth of the new database and its log file.
The Create Database dialog box in the wizard offers only the basic options that are available for creating a new SQL Server database. To see and configure all the options for a new SQL Server database, use SQL Server Management Studio to create the database, or to configure the database after the wizard creates it.
Note
If you're looking for info about the Transact-SQL CREATE DATABASE statement, and not about the Create Database dialog box of the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, see CREATE DATABASE (SQL Server Transact-SQL).

Naming requirements
Make sure that you follow SQL Server naming conventions when you name the database.
The database name must be unique within an instance of SQL Server.
The database name can be a maximum of 123 characters. (This allows 5 characters for the suffixes that SQL Server appends to the data file and the log file, within the maximum of 128 characters.)
The database name must comply with the rules for identifiers in SQL Server. Here are the most important requirements.
The first character must be a letter, underscore (_), at sign (@), or number sign (#).
Subsequent characters can be letters, numbers, the at sign, dollar sign ($), number sign, or underscore.
You can't use spaces or other special characters.
For detailed info about these requirements, see Database Identifiers.
Optionally specify data file and log file options
