  • RE: An easy way to synchronize data

    So which is the better approach, scripted restore or mirrored database? Which has better performance, when is easier to maintain?

  • RE: An easy way to synchronize data

    I'm considering mirroring a "staging" database that's in the production environment. Can I use SSIS to extract data from the mirrored database directly or will I need to have...
