Database Mirroring (Any operating mode)

  • Hi all,

    In case of any mode of Database Mirroring either synchronous or asynchronous, are there any possibilities that at the time when principal server is online, we can use mirror server for read only query processing.

    or is it like that only, that we can access only one database i.e either principal or mirror at any given time.

  • The mirror is always unreadable, but if you use Enterprise Edition you can create a snapshot of it and read from that.

  • As Matt suggested, go with the DB SNAPSHOT, insted of landing up with complex solutions to Simple problems.

  • Thank you very much, as in our case it is not possible as we are using workgroup edition.

    Thanks a million.

  • Keep in mind if you did move to database snapshots that the snapshots are point in time and don't keep up with changes to the primary.
