I didn't find any convincing posts on google and so pinged here. I understand this is a database that is helpful when we upgrade the sql server, patching etc.

Following are some information regarding this database

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ResourceVersion');

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ResourceLastUpdateDateTime');

Can this be used in case our master database is corrupted? When this will be used. I understand this consists of all the system views, sps tables etc. What is the basic use of this :(?
