Correction:-

Code:
if  [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
      echo " Usage : <$0>  <DATABASE> "
      exit 0
else
      DATABASE=$1
      for DB in 1 2 3 
      do
         echo $DATABASE | awk -v db=$DB -F "_" ' { print $1 "_" db "_" $2 } '
      done

Just change highlighted 3 as per your need(how many times you want to print)
Code:
if  [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
    echo " Usage : <$0>  <DATABASE> "
    exit 0
else
    val=$1
    echo $val | awk -F_ '{for(i=1;i<=3;i++){print $1"_"i$2}}' 
fi

There's no need for awk; use shell parameter expansion:
Code:
db=$1
for n in 1 2 3 
do
  dbn=${db%_*}_$n${db#*_}
  echo "$dbn"
done

Yes, indeed we can use this.
But the time taken by awk is very less as compared the your script for higher values of n(assume more than 1000).
