'Usage
Dim instance As SPContentDatabaseCollection
[GuidAttribute("4FFCB8E5-7B15-4b81-AC4E-99A2181AD33E")]
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
public class SPContentDatabaseCollection : SPBaseCollection
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.
To add a content database, use the Add() method.
Use an indexer to return a single content database from the collection. For example, if the collection is assigned to a variable named myContentDatabases, use myContentDatabases[index] in C#, or myContentDatabases(index) in Visual Basic .NET, where index is either the index number of the database in the collection or the GUID for the content database.
Examples
The following code example displays information about the content databases of all the SharePoint Web applications within a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation server farm.
Dim services As SPServiceCollection = SPFarm.Local.Services
Dim service As SPService
For Each service In services
If TypeOf service Is SPWebService Then
Dim webService As SPWebService = CType(service, SPWebService)
Dim webApplications As SPWebApplicationCollection = webService.WebApplications
Dim webApplication As SPWebApplication
For Each webApplication In webApplications
Dim contentDBs As SPContentDatabaseCollection = webApplication.ContentDatabases
Dim contentDB As SPContentDatabase
For Each contentDB In contentDBs
Response.Write((webApplication.DisplayName + " :: "
+ contentDB.CurrentSiteCount.ToString() + " :: "
+ contentDB.MaximumSiteCount.ToString() + " :: "
+ contentDB.Name + "<BR>"))
Next contentDB
Next webApplication
End If
Next service
SPServiceCollection services = SPFarm.Local.Services;
foreach (SPService service in services)
{
if (service is SPWebService)
{
SPWebService webService = (SPWebService)service;
SPWebApplicationCollection webApplications = webService.WebApplications;
foreach (SPWebApplication webApplication in webApplications)
{
SPContentDatabaseCollection contentDBs = webApplication.ContentDatabases;
foreach (SPContentDatabase contentDB in contentDBs)
{
Response.Write(webApplication.DisplayName + " :: "
+ contentDB.CurrentSiteCount.ToString() + " :: "
+ contentDB.MaximumSiteCount.ToString() + " :: "
+ contentDB.Name + "<BR>");
}
}
}
}
