 == Create databases
 
 You can create a database using the Cypher command `CREATE DATABASE`.
+The initial contents of the database depend on the state of the server and the options provided to the command.
+When no additional options are provided, `CREATE DATABASE` will attempt to mount any pre-existing store files in place (e.g., as the result of restoring a backup). 
+If no pre-existing store files are available, it will create an empty database.
