Once you are connected to the SQL Server, you should select a database to work with and set it as the current database using the "USE" statement with this syntax: 

USE database_name

The following tutorial example shows you how to set "FyiCenterData" as the current database, and create a table in "FyiCenterData": 

USE FyiCenterData
GO
Changed database context to 'FyiCenterData'.

CREATE TABLE Links (Name NVARCHAR(32))
GO

SELECT name, type_desc, create_date FROM sys.tables
GO
name    type_desc       create_date
Links   USER_TABLE      2007-05-19 23:05:43.700
