Question of the Day

The New Log File

I have a detached database from SQL Server 2019, called TDE_Primer. This database had a 100MB data file and a 73MB log file. The log file was lost, so I need to run this code:

USE [master]
GO
CREATE DATABASE [TDE_Primer] ON 
( FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\TDE_Primer.mdf' )
 FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG
GO
How big is the new log file?
