Remarks

Specifying instance database properties is optional. For more information about default values, see Defining the Instance Database.

Example

The following example shows how to define database properties for an instance of Notification Services:

// Define instance database properties
// Create the InstanceDatabaseOptions object
InstanceDatabaseOptions idb = 
    new InstanceDatabaseOptions(myInstance, "MyInstDB");

// Define and add a filegroup
InstanceDatabaseFileGroup idb_fg = 
    new InstanceDatabaseFileGroup(idb, "PRIMARY");
idb.InstanceDatabaseFileGroups.Add(idb_fg);

// Define and add a data file
InstanceDatabaseFile idb_file1 = 
    new InstanceDatabaseFile(idb_fg, "MyInst_PrimaryFile1");
idb_file1.FileName = @"C:\NS\Full\MyInst_PrimaryFile1.mdf";
idb_file1.InitialSize = "5MB";
idb_file1.MaxSize = "15MB";
idb_file1.GrowthIncrement = "10%";
idb_fg.InstanceDatabaseFiles.Add(idb_file1);

// Define and add a log file
InstanceDatabaseLogFile idb_log = 
    new InstanceDatabaseLogFile(idb, "MyInst_LogFile1");
idb_log.FileName = @"C:\NS\Full\MyInst_LogFile1.ldf";
idb_log.InitialSize = "3MB";
idb_log.MaxSize = "10MB";
idb_log.GrowthIncrement = "10%";
idb.InstanceDatabaseLogFiles.Add(idb_log);

// Define database options
idb.CollationName = "Latin1_General_CS_AS";
idb.DefaultFileGroup = "PRIMARY";

// Assign options to Instance.InstanceDatabaseOptions property
myInstance.InstanceDatabaseOptions = idb;

' Create the InstanceDatabaseOptions object
Dim idb As InstanceDatabaseOptions = _
    New InstanceDatabaseOptions(myInstance, "MyInstDB")

' Define and add a filegroup
Dim idb_fg As InstanceDatabaseFileGroup = _
    New InstanceDatabaseFileGroup(idb, "PRIMARY")
idb.InstanceDatabaseFileGroups.Add(idb_fg)

' Define and add a data file
Dim idb_file1 As InstanceDatabaseFile = _
    New InstanceDatabaseFile(idb_fg, "MyInst_PrimaryFile1")
idb_file1.FileName = "C:\NS\Full\MyInst_PrimaryFile1.mdf"
idb_file1.InitialSize = "5MB"
idb_file1.MaxSize = "15MB"
idb_file1.GrowthIncrement = "10%"
idb_fg.InstanceDatabaseFiles.Add(idb_file1)

' Define and add a log file
Dim idb_log As InstanceDatabaseLogFile = _
    New InstanceDatabaseLogFile(idb, "MyInst_LogFile1")
idb_log.FileName = "C:\NS\Full\MyInst_LogFile1.ldf"
idb_log.InitialSize = "3MB"
idb_log.MaxSize = "10MB"
idb_log.GrowthIncrement = "10%"
idb.InstanceDatabaseLogFiles.Add(idb_log)

' Define database options
idb.CollationName = "Latin1_General_CS_AS"
idb.DefaultFileGroup = "PRIMARY"

' Assign options to Instance.InstanceDatabaseOptions property.
myInstance.InstanceDatabaseOptions = idb
