How to create a new database in MS SQL Server?


Sorry, if this has been asked previously. In services on a client, I can see that MS SQL Server has the status "started". and on this machine I don't have Microsoft SQL SERVER Management Studio.

How can I create a new database?

Thank you!

    To execute script: sqlcmd -i C:\create_script.sql
