Nice, easy question.

I was wondering about the inclusion of the "none of the above" option. Was this just a joke from the question author, or will people actually choose this answer? (at this time, none have - 56% True, 44% False, 0% None of the above).

Maybe an attempt to introduce trinary logic? Or should the third option have been NULL? 😉

Please, do not start a discussion about NULLs. 😀

Nice question! It made me do some reading-up on a feauture I've never used so far.

Allways good to refresh those areas once in a while.

Really like the "none of the above" answer, and will chck back to see if someone actually checked that at the end of the day. 🙂

I can't believe people have actually clicked on "None of the above" 😀

Hope this helps,

I'm one of those that selected None of the Above. That was because it has nothing to do with recovery models. The model, master, and tempdb databases are prohibited from having snapshots. That, in my opinion, means that "True" cannot be the correct answer to this question and I already know that "False" was wrong. The only other option was "None of the Above" which I thought would mean "It depends on which database."

I do agree with "england0".

The system databases are excluded from Database snapshot. Question doesn't to look like correct..!

The question asked what the relation was between database snapshots and recovery models.

The question did not ask the relation between database snapshots and (system) databases.

Sir,

There Were People Who Selected, "None Of the above" Option.

Thinking, putting third option was a joke, is a joke itself.(':w00t:');

At least I Tried !!

Nice & Easy question.

Thanks

I too chose None of the Above (interpreting that it meant ("it depends") because system databases are excluded from Database Snapshots. If you follow the logic that all Simple recovery model databases can have a Database Snapshot, you would infer that Master, Model and Msdb can have a Database Snapshot, which they cannot.
