About the SharePoint team Web site database

A Web site based on SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft relies on a SQL server database to store information such as:

• List data, including information about Events, Announcements, Tasks, and Contacts.
• Document library information about properties, such as document title, date, and size.
• Discussion and subscription data, such as subscription information and the actual threaded comments from web document discussions.
• Security data, such as who is allowed to view and change site information.

Each virtual server has its own database. Webs and subwebs on the same virtual server share a database, although their information is stored in separate tables within the database.
