Get information about SharePoint content databases
Before moving sites between content databases, you should know a quantity of your databases for your WebApplication. You can move sites between content databases only if they are in the same WebApplication!
To see information about all your content databases with powershell, you need to enter to PowerShell Console:
Get-SPContentDatabase
The result is something like this:
Id : 8c4c1d8e-ade2-4325-be64-aaa6ed7a1fdf Name : WSS_Content_6529bc39b45f42209cd09ef6fd387d48 WebApplication : SPWebApplication Name=SharePoint - 36537 Server : sp10dev\spdev CurrentSiteCount : 1 Id : ebc388e9-c10e-4c6c-95e9-3608e4d36f4c Name : SPDEV_WSS_Content WebApplication : SPWebApplication Name=SharePoint10 - 80 Server : sp10dev\spdev CurrentSiteCount : 4
Item "CurrentSiteCount" shows you a quantity of site collections in the content database. It’s not easy to say which value is the best – it depends on size, update rates, users etc. But if it’s your SharePoint farm, you should know better about site collections.
