SharePoint 2007 Default Databases

Here’s a list of default databases created in a full MOSS 2007 farm installation. I needed somewhere to keep this information so I wouldn’t have to keep figuring it out and thought others might find this useful too.

  • SharePoint_Config : Configuration Database used by the farm
  • SharePoint_AdminContent : Content Database used for the Central Administration web application
  • WSS_Content : Content Database used for the Shared Services web application
  • SharedServices1_DB : Shared Services Provider Database used for configuration settings in the SSP
  • SharedServices1_Search_DB : Search Database used for the property store and crawler history
  • WSS_Search : Search Database used for the search server

You also end up with a content database for the MySites web application but I don’t believe it’s different from a regular content database.
