Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Nmo
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo (in microsoft.sqlserver.smo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property InstanceDatabaseFiles As InstanceDatabaseFileCollection

public InstanceDatabaseFileCollection InstanceDatabaseFiles { get; }

public:
property InstanceDatabaseFileCollection^ InstanceDatabaseFiles {
    InstanceDatabaseFileCollection^ get ();
}

/** @property */
public InstanceDatabaseFileCollection get_InstanceDatabaseFiles ()

public function get InstanceDatabaseFiles () : InstanceDatabaseFileCollection

Property Value

The InstanceDatabaseFileCollection object for the filegroup.

Remarks

Each filegroup can contain one or more database files. Use this property to get the collection of database files. Use the methods of the InstanceDatabaseFileCollection class to add and remove database files.

After you deploy the instance of Notification Services, you cannot add or delete database files. If you need to alter the database after deployment, use the Microsoft SQL Server tools, such as SQL Server Management Studio.

Example

The following examples show how to add a data file to the collection of instance database data files:

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 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)
