Remarks

If the Database element and its child elements are not specified, Microsoft SQL Server Notification Services creates an application database using the default settings for the instance of SQL Server.

Example

The following example shows how to specify database settings in an ADF for an application that has two named filegroups, Primary and Secondary, and a log file named StockLog. It uses the Secondary filegroup as its default filegroup, and uses the SQL_Latin1_General_Cp437_BIN collation.

<Database>
    <NamedFileGroup>
        <FileGroupName>Primary</FileGroupName>
        <FileSpec>
            <LogicalName>StockPrimary</LogicalName>
            <FileName>C:\SQLData\StockPrimary.mdf</FileName>
            <Size>2GB</Size>
            <MaxSize>5GB</MaxSize>
            <GrowthIncrement>500MB</GrowthIncrement>
        </FileSpec>
    </NamedFileGroup>
    <NamedFileGroup>
        <FileGroupName>Secondary</FileGroupName>
        <FileSpec>
            <LogicalName>StockSecondary1</LogicalName>
            <FileName>D:\Data\StockSecondary1.ndf</FileName>
            <Size>1000MB</Size>
            <MaxSize>5000MB</MaxSize>
            <GrowthIncrement>25%</GrowthIncrement>
        </FileSpec>
        <FileSpec>
            <LogicalName>StockSecondary2</LogicalName>
            <FileName>D:\Data\StockSecondary2.ndf</FileName>
        </FileSpec>
    </NamedFileGroup>
    <LogFile>
        <LogicalName>StockLog</LogicalName>
        <FileName>E:\Logs\StockLog.ldf</FileName>
    </LogFile>
    <DefaultFileGroup>Secondary</DefaultFileGroup>
    <CollationName>SQL_Latin1_General_Cp437_BIN</CollationName>
</Database>
