Attach a Content Database to a Web Application
Scenario/Problem: You need to associate a content database to a web application.
Solution: Use the Mount-SPContentDatabase cmdlet with the WebApplication parameter.
The Mount-SPContentDatabase cmdlet enables you to associate the specified content database with a web application. The command-line entry is similar to the process of creating a new content database because the parameters are Name and WebApplication, as shown in Listing 7.6.
Listing 7.6. Sample Script for Mounting a Content Database
Mount-SPContentDatabase -Name "NewContentDB"-WebApplication "PSWebApp"
A confirmation listing of the content database information displays, just as in creating a new content database.
