This post describes how to check powershell version in windows server with powershell command. Many time we face issue while writing powershell script and facing powershell version compatibility issue. Powershell version check required at this moment.
A content database in sharepoint is not the database server itself but container for all the content for a single web application.
You can have only one content database for one web application however, you can separate content for multiple websites into multiple content databases for a site collection. You can also use a single content database for multiple site collections, keeping in mind that the site collection or collections represent a single web app.
we can run the powershell command as below to get quick details however can get from “Central Admin -> Application Management” under “View all Site Collections”.
Get-SPContentDatabase
Isolation and sharing are expressed as the difference between one site collection using one database and numerous site collections sharing a database. The number of site collections using a database is also a scaling and performance issue. If you are deploying site collections with a high workload attached and greater expectancy for growth, make sure to use fewer site collections per database. You can also plan your content database strategy by adding databases to site collections as they grow or associate specific site collections only with specific content databases. The latter approach lets you isolate a database serving particular site collections from all the other databases and thus isolate the content it contains.
boundaries and limits content databases
There can be 500 content databases per farm at max. With 200GB data per content database and 100TB of data per farm. 60 million items including documents and list items. Number of site collections per content database recommended to 5,000. However, up to 10,000 site collections are supported.2500 non-Personal site collections and 7500 Personal Sites or 10000 Personal Sites alone. find in details from Microsoft Doc Link.
content database for each site collection powershell
We can run below powershell command to know which content database your site collection attached to.
$site = Get-SPSite "http://win2016:37344/sites/SPmcse"
write-host $site.WebApplication.ContentDatabases
or
$url="http://win2016:37344/sites/SPmcse"
(Get-SPSite $url).ContentDatabase.name

Service Applications in SharePoint are associated with web applications, and specific services are typically deployed as needed in a particular farm. Only deployed services are referred to as service applications. This is a huge advantage in terms of conserving resources and optimizing performance. For instance, a specific web application can be configured to use only the services it needs. The number of service applications that exist is vast, and, as third-party vendors can create their own services for SharePoint Server. A list of services includes the following:
You can set up a single service application to be shared among multiple web applications or deploy multiple instances of the same service across a farm and, in some cases, across multiple farms. Also, there is no limitation regarding the number of services that can be deployed in any single farm. A typical planning scenario requires that you either set up services to share across multiple web applications or isolate an individual service to one or a limited number of web applications. We can publish below service applications across the farm.
Business Data Connectivity
Machine Translation
Managed Metadata
User Profile
Search
Secure Store
Navigate to “Central Admin -> Application Management ->Manage Service Applications” and click on “New” from ribbon to see the list of service applications available.
you can use powershell command to get the list of service applications
For every service application there is a service associated with it which you can from central admin by navigating to “Central Admin -> Application Management -> Manage Services on Server”.
Alternatively you can use the powershell command as below
Get-SPServiceInstance | Format-Table -wrap
Get-SPServiceInstance | Where {$_.Status -eq "Online"} | Format-Table -wrap
Similarly we can start the service instance by running the below command.
