You can provide a database name within your script, and when the database is not yet created, it will be created. | |

To deal with that, I had to periodically run stsadm command to move My Sites into our desired My Site content database. | |

That way when new personal sites get added, they automatically go in the correct database. | |

| Apr 9, 2013 at 20:25 | comment | added | Massimo | Ok, thanks. Looks like providing an option to select the DB from the beginning would have been really too much... | |
| Apr 9, 2013 at 20:24 | comment | added | John Chapman | First, create a new content database for your web app (see technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc825314.aspx). Once you have the additional content database, use the Move-SPSite cmdlet to move your site collection to the new databases (technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607915.aspx). | |
| Apr 9, 2013 at 20:22 | comment | added | Massimo | Exactly what I was fearing... fine. How can I put the site contents in a specific content DB? I can't find any option for selecting that when creating the site collection. | |
