Describe how the Initial Size setting is used when defining a database.  How can this setting affect database performance?

What will be an ideal response?

The Initial Size setting defines the initial size of the data and log files; the default sizes are 4 MB and 1 MB, respectively. Increasing the file size after a database has been created consumes significant resources and will lead to degraded performance. Other than the space that the files occupy on a physical disk, there is no harm in setting a file size that is much larger than the space that the data occupies.
