I need to create the SQL DB for vCenter in the SQL server itself, but I can't find good instructions pointing out the step-by-step instructions in SQL.

What are you looking to do - set up MS SQL for vCenter? What version of vCenter are you running? Are you looking to migrate you database?
For vSphere 5 here are the links to the approriate documentation -
For installing to SQL - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-install...
For UPgrading or moving a database - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-upgrade...
Hi, Im running vCenter 5.0 and I'm looking to setup a NET NEW environment. New DB in SQL.
page 176 of the install guide should get you started. Beyond that, if you have questions about how to setup SQL and a DB instance, if you have a DBA in your company you may want to ask him/her
