Does querying a mirror snapshot access the principal?

  • Hi

    Would someone kindly confirm that querying a snapshot created on the mirror side of a mirrored pair of databases accesses or not accesses the principal when retrieving the unchanged data pages?

    I'm fairly convinced the principal is not touched at all by any snapshot queries.

    Thanks in advance

  • It accesses the mirror DB.
