Use the DatabaseService class to manage SQL Server instances and their associated databases in the topology of the server farm.
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and later supports multiple database server instances on a single server computer through the use of named instances called SQL Server instances.
The public constant ServiceClass defined in the DatabaseService class contains the GUID value that distinguishes a DatabaseService from other Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 services.
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.
