I have noticed on our SQL2017 mirrored databases Query store is not working.
( Moving to AGs is not an option. )
Settings in use:
```
ALTER DATABASE [MyMirroredDb] SET QUERY_STORE = ON
GO

ALTER DATABASE [MyMirroredDb] 
SET QUERY_STORE 
(OPERATION_MODE = READ_WRITE, 
CLEANUP_POLICY = (STALE_QUERY_THRESHOLD_DAYS = 30), 
DATA_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SECONDS = 900, 
INTERVAL_LENGTH_MINUTES = 60, 
MAX_STORAGE_SIZE_MB = 100, 
QUERY_CAPTURE_MODE = ALL, 
SIZE_BASED_CLEANUP_MODE = AUTO, 
MAX_PLANS_PER_QUERY = 200, 
WAIT_STATS_CAPTURE_MODE = ON)
GO
```
What am I missing ?

For the record: for non-mirrored databases Query Store works as expected.

Mirrored databases can't be written to, right? If so, then I'm pretty sure Query Store won't work on a mirrored database. Same as AG. It doesn't work there either (except for SQL Server 2022).

My bad. I left some ambiguity in my question.

I'm talking about the primary database of a mirrored set, not about the recoverying version of it.

btw: In the mean time I have noticed all QS states were off (DesiredState) , which is strange because I configured them to be readwrite long time ago.

So I have alterd them to be ReadWrite again and monitor them for a while

ALTER DATABASE [mymirroreddb] SET QUERY_STORE = ON
GO

ALTER DATABASE [mymirroreddb] SET QUERY_STORE (
OPERATION_MODE = READ_WRITE, 
CLEANUP_POLICY = (STALE_QUERY_THRESHOLD_DAYS = 30), 
DATA_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SECONDS = 900, 
INTERVAL_LENGTH_MINUTES = 15, 
MAX_STORAGE_SIZE_MB = 1024, 
QUERY_CAPTURE_MODE = AUTO, 
SIZE_BASED_CLEANUP_MODE = AUTO, 
MAX_PLANS_PER_QUERY = 200, 
WAIT_STATS_CAPTURE_MODE = ON
)
GO

/* BTW */
ALTER DATABASE [mymirroreddb] SET QUERY_STORE CLEAR ALL;
/* does not delete rows in the QS tables */

Ah, sorry I misunderstood.

If they were switched to read only on you, it's likely something to do with size and the cleanup management. The size-based cleanup should be a backup to the time-based cleanup. The reason is, the sized-based cleanup can, for want of a term, miss it's window to cleanup. You can still get full storage and it will automatically switch Query Store to read only. Getting an alert when a databases Query Store status changes will help.
