CREATE DATABASE abc
ON PRIMARY
( NAME = abc_dat,
SIZE = 1,
MAXSIZE = 1,
FILEGROWTH = 15%
)
Remarks:
The CREATE/ALTER DATABASE command is full of optional parameters and option, which combinations make it sometimes necessary to provide adiitional information.

Because this filename was not provided, the error is raised.
