'Usage
Dim instance As SPContentDatabase
[GuidAttribute("3D4F5451-1735-48bb-B920-76C1EC240B1D")]

public class SPContentDatabase : SPDatabase,
IDatabaseSnapshotRestore, IMigratable
Remarks
Use the ContentDatabase() property of the SPSite class or of the SPWorkItemCollection class to return the content database for a site collection or work item collection. Use the ContentDatabases property of the SPWebApplication class to return the collection of content databases that are used by the Web application.
Use an indexer to return a single content database from a collection of content databases. For example, if the collection is assigned to a variable named myContentDatabases, use myContentDatabases[index] in C#, or myContentDatabases(index) in Visual Basic, where index is either the index number of the field in the collection or the GUID for the content database.
Examples
The following example uses the GetChanges method to report when users have been deleted from the current site collection as represented by the current change log.
Dim siteCollection As SPSite = SPContext.Current.Site
Dim contentDB As SPContentDatabase = siteCollection.ContentDatabase
Dim myQuery As New SPChangeQuery(False, False)
myQuery.User = True
myQuery.Delete = True
Dim changes As SPChangeCollection = contentDB.GetChanges(myQuery)
Dim change As SPChange
For Each change In changes
Response.Write((" User deleted: " + change.Time.ToString() + "<BR>"))
Next change
SPSite siteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPContentDatabase contentDB = siteCollection.ContentDatabase;
SPChangeQuery myQuery = new SPChangeQuery(false, false);
myQuery.User = true;
myQuery.Delete = true;
SPChangeCollection changes = contentDB.GetChanges(myQuery);
foreach (SPChange change in changes)
{
Response.Write(" User deleted: " + change.Time.ToString() + "<BR>");
}
