Research direction

Read samples/databases/northwind-pubs/readme.md and compare its instructions with the reported pubs script behavior. Document that a blank database named pubs must exist before running the script, and confirm the README clearly explains this prerequisite.

Description

please note....

the pubs script required me to first create a new blank db named pubs and...

...that fact is NOT mentioned anywhere in the readme it seems...

https://github.com/microsoft/sql-server-samples/blob/master/samples/databases/northwind-pubs/readme.md

...so maybe just a doc update is needed?

running the script without a db named pubs caused it to say something like "no db named pubs exists"

creating a new db named pubs and then running the script worked great

...just FYI...

thank you...
