• Quoting from above..

    "You can connect to the database under certain single-user mode conditions by typing the command USE MSSQLSystemResource..."

    So, the question should have named the database correctly as MSSQLSystemResource.

    We all seem agree there is a hidden 'resource' which may or may not qualify as a database - my point earlier is that the question is vague\incorrect in the name.

    Microsoft documentation refers to this as the resource database.

    But, if the USE statement needs to have MSSQLSystemResource - then the database name is MSSQLSystemResource. The question is incorrect.

    If USE Resource will never work. Then the question is incorrect.
