Remarks
In SQL Server 2005 Notification Services, you can specify the name of the application database. This database can be a new or existing database. Because the application database objects must be isolated from other instance or application database objects, you should specify a unique schema name if you specify a database name. For more information about database schemas, see User-Schema Separation.
All application database objects are created in the specified schema.
If you do not specify the database name and schema name, Notification Services creates a new database with the name instanceName + applicationName, and creates all application database objects in the dbo schema. The instance name and application name are specified in the instance configuration file (ICF).
For more information about database schemas, see User-Schema Separation.
