Chapter 2 - Oct 19

There's no option of specifying a content database when you create a site collection. Can we have a utility that shows all content database that a web application has & then allows you to create a site collection speciying the content database. You could also show the default content database.

When I define a managed path with explicit inclusion, I'm telling SharePoint that there will be one and only one site collection at that defined location.

Under a site collection you can have various sites. In fact, you cannot have a site collection without

any site in it. When you create a site collection from central administration, by default it will put in a toplevel

site in the site collection.
