I ran sp_who2, what is SPID?
From Microsoft, I found that it is session ID.(I copied it at bottom).
I used ASP.NET in app, what is the relationship between SPID and connection string? Is it processing ID?
-------------
session ID (SPID in SQL Server 2000 and earlier) is a session identification number belonging to the SQL Server instance. session ID is smallint.

Yes it is the session ID.
Each connection gets a session ID.
You can see that if you are connecting multiple query windows for example. Each window has its own session ID.
So you can identify exactly a connection and for example kill that connection/session.
