How to find out the site collection ID

A SharePoint Site is a collection of pages, lists, and libraries configured for the purpose of achieving an express goal. A site may contain sub-sites, and those sites may contain further sub-sites. Typically, sites need to be created from scratch, but sites can also be created according to pre-defined templates that provide packaged functionality. Examples of Site templates in SharePoint include: Blogs, MySites, collaboration (team) sites, document workspaces, groupwork sites, and meeting workspaces.

Sites have navigation, themes/branding, custom permissions, workflows, and have the ability to be configured or customized in a number of ways. In order to achieve a greater degree of maintainability, sites typically inherit site-level settings from their parent sites.

While working on one SharePoint issue in collaboration with the SQL, I need to run a SQL query against a specific site collection by using its ID. So you must be aware how to find out the ID of a site collection. Its takes some time to find out the answer but would like to share with all of you so that you can take the benefit of the same and your time will be saved, Thank you

Here is my analysis regarding the same:
1. Open the Central Administration

2. Application Management
3. SharePoint Site Management
4. Site collection quotas and locks
5. Select the appropriate site collection and you will get the ID of that specific site collection on top of the browser.

If you have any queries/questions regarding the mentioned information then please let me know.
I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you

How to find out the ID of a subsite

A subsite is a single SharePoint site within a site collection. A subsite can inherit permissions and navigation structure from its parent site or these can be specified and managed independently. Creation of subsites can be delegated to users of a site collection, but creation of site collections must be performed by a service administrator. A sub-site can also have sub-sites of its own. Because every site below the top-level site is actually a sub-site, each sub-site is generally called simply a site.
There might be a situation arise in which you need to find out the ID of the subsite. I had spend some time on this to debug and got the solution. Please refer the following steps and use your subsite ID to fulfill your project requirements, Thank youJ
