Remarks
Use the DatabaseCollection class to manage content databases in the topology of a server farm. The DatabaseCollection object corresponds to the list of content databases in the Databases table of the configuration database.
Deriving from this class is not supported.
To use the properties and methods of the objects in the Topology namespace you must be a member of the local STS_WPG and SPS_WPG security groups, and a member of the db_owner database role for the configuration database.
In addition, for certain methods, such as those that create a portal site, you must be a member of the local Administrators group, and have membership in the Database Creators and Security Administrators server roles in the SQL Server instance that hosts the configuration database.
