sql server notification services:
Hi,

I am looking at the documentation for the notification services and it
is mentioned that after creating the ADF and configuration files, when I
run the NSControl utility, it creates a new instance and application
database. In my application we are planning to have several notification
services (i.e. for different types of data) and want to use the existing
application database for the notification services.

Is this possible?

Not in v2.0 with SQL Server 2000, but you can in SQL Server 2005
Notification Services. I've described the process over in my blog;
it's available here.

But if I have multiple events that I wish to create, can I club them all
into one single database? i.e. if I write multiple EventClasses in one
ADF...

In SQL Server 2000 NS v2.0, each instance will have it's on database
called <InstanceName>NSMain. Each Application associated with an
instance will have its own database called
<InstanceName><ApplicationName>. That application database will
contain all events, subscriptions, notifications, etc that you define
for the application - regardless of the number.

In SQLNS 2005, we have some more flexibility. We can choose to have
the instance and / or application databaes objects created in an
existing database.

So the short answer is: yes.

HTH...
