When Notification Services creates an application database, it creates the filegroups specified in the application definition file (ADF).

At least one filegroup must use the name PRIMARY.

If you need to alter the database after creating the application, use the Microsoft SQL Server tools, such as SQL Server Management Studio.

For more information about filegroup names, see the FILEGROUP filegroup_name description in CREATE DATABASE (Transact-SQL).

The following example shows how to specify that the filegroup you are defining is the application database's Primary filegroup.

<FileGroupName>PRIMARY</FileGroupName>
