Remarks

Use the Databases property of the SPDatabaseServiceInstance class, or the SPDatabaseCollection constructor, to return the collection of databases that support a database service instance.

Use an indexer to return a single database from the collection. For example, if the collection is assigned to a variable named myDatabases, use myDatabases[index] in C#, or myDatabases(index) in Visual Basic, where index is either the name or the GUID that identifies the database.

Thread safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
