When you call the ContentDatabase property of an SPSite instance, it actually uses a composite key consisting of the web application id and the path of the site collection. Execute this SQL query in the SharePoint config db to see it:

select * from sitemapvisible

In the object hierarchy of the config db, things are a little different though, and it looks like this:

content db [child of] sharepoint database service instance [child of] spserver [child of] config database.

When will you be using this info? Uhm, probably never, that’s the esoteric part about it.

Based on our blog readers, SharePoint is popular around the world! Okay, the number of readers in Greenland are disappointing so far, and we’re not very popular in China, but we’ve got every continent represented.
