GetSiteExtension
Description
Given the display name of a database object, gets the site extension number (the database identifier or dbid) of a replica database and returns it as a Long.
This method supports MultiSite operations.
A locally assigned name may not be unique among all names in a MultiSite environment.
This method returns a site extension number that can be appended to the display
name of a database object to create an extended name. To find ambiguous display
names, use the GetDisplayNamesNeedingSiteExtension method.
