Thanks for the reply.
I need to create an arbitrary number but it will be triggered by a
user action e.g I want to provision a new service instance when a
customer is added , just like when a new sql instance is created in
sql 2005.
How does sql 2005 achieve this so I can use same logic/api's?
Thanks again.
