MSSQLSERVER_1803

[!INCLUDE SQL Server]

Details

Attribute Value
Product Name SQL Server
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

[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] creates a database by making a copy of the model database. Then [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] 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 [!INCLUDEssManStudioFull], or the DBCC SHRINKDATABASE statement.
