  • Is it one time requirement like Database Refresh or you want to implement standby solutions like Mirroring, Log shipping?

  • i want to implement standby solutions like Mirroring, Log shipping?

    pls provide the solution

  • There are a couple of strategies you can use, mirroring / logshipping / replication. My recommendation will vary depending on what you want to accomplish, if you would like to accomplish a hot standby server I would recommend mirroring

    To read about mirroring in books online :

    To read about log shipping in books online :

    Database mirroring is a simple strategy that offers the following benefits:

    Increases data protection.

    Database mirroring provides complete or almost complete redundancy of the data, depending on whether the operating mode is high-safety or high-performance. For more information, see "Operating Modes," later in this topic.

    A database mirroring partner running on SQL Server 2008 Enterprise or later versions automatically tries to resolve certain types of errors that prevent reading a data page. The partner that is unable to read a page requests a fresh copy from the other partner. If this request succeeds, the unreadable page is replaced by the copy, which usually resolves the error. For more information, see Automatic Page Repair During a Database Mirroring Session.

    Increases availability of a database.

    In the event of a disaster, in high-safety mode with automatic failover, failover quickly brings the standby copy of the database online (without data loss). In the other operating modes, the database administrator has the alternative of forcing service (with possible data loss) to the standby copy of the database. For more information, see "Role Switching," later in this topic.

    Improves the availability of the production database during upgrades.

    To minimize downtime for a mirrored database, you can sequentially upgrade the instances of SQL Server that are participating in a database mirroring session. This will incur the downtime of only a single failover. This form of upgrade is known as a rolling upgrade. For more information, see How to: Install a Service Pack on a System with Minimal Downtime for Mirrored Databases.
