I don't think you need the db since there wasn't anything that you need to do Or you can go into SQL server, create a database, create a table and then try his steps

You can generate via query in DB

USE [Master];
GO
CREATE DATABASE DatabaseFirstTestDB ON ( NAME = DBFirstData, 
                    /* Point to the directory wherer you want to store your db files */
                    FILENAME = 'D:\MSSQL Server Data\DBFirstTest.mdf',
                    SIZE = 10MB,
                    MAXSIZE = 50MB,
                    FILEGROWTH = 5MB )
                    LOG ON ( NAME = DBFirstLog,
                    /* Point to the directory wherer you want to store your db files */ 
                    FILENAME = 'D:\MSSQL Server Data\DBFirstLog.ldf',
                    SIZE = 5MB,
                    MAXSIZE = 25MB,
                    FILEGROWTH = 5MB);
