    Damn, got 3 out of the 4, I thought mirroring wouldn't of been true as it is now a depreciated feature so, wouldn't of thought the two would co-exist.

    I also thought the same 🙂

    But in the end changed my mind, thinking that what would be the use of contained DB, if it cannot be mirrored? Features like running environment reports from contained DBs and other stuff like delegating access control will be of no use without mirroring.

    Really? I got it wrong because I thought the exact opposite. As I understand contained DBs, they should be portable and independent of the main server, and be as much a single unit as they can. Therefore I would have thought that mirroring them would be sort of useless. So this is a question for learning the new stuff -- when would you want to have a contained database that is mirrored? I know a bit about how contained databases technically work, but I am not so much familiar with the business case for when and why to use them.
