Okay now,

When you install SAP, It prompts you to provide a System Id which is called SID, that is recognized by the system, Since for any SAP installation you must have a Database, It requires you to provide an identification for the Data base also. For Eg: If you are installing Nw04s with MAXDB as a database, you would give the SID as J2E and Data base ID also as J2E so that there is no confusion...

As you knew SAP instance is called SID, as the same Database ID will be DBID.

You can use same SID for Database and SAP or you can have different DB ID and SAP ID, this called Multiple Components in One Database (MCOD). That is depends on the customer requirement.
