Thanks Ron 🙂

As you know, Master DB is a basic thing to learn for everybody.. So I framed my first question this way.

Hi Adam,

Sorry but I do not see any valid objections.

Probably you are concerned about the sentence "The master database cannot participate in database mirroring".

"Master can't be mirrored" is right sentence, according to you. I would suggest you to refer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187837.aspx

Again, It was single choice question. and the answer was so obvious. though it seems little tricky.

I guess after referring the url and the explanation I tried, your anger would be soften.

Regards,

Sudhir

"Could you please elaborate what 'The master database cannot participate in database mirroring' actually means?
If it simply means that 'master' cant be mirrored, IT CANT! as the first line indicates.
If however you mean, tracking databases that are mirrored and endpoints etc, then your question is badly worded and misleading!
Sure i'll get flames for this but i am not the only DBA in my company mislead by this.

Thank you for the question.

At the risk of sounding cliche, I am pretty surprised that this many people are getting this wrong. I am especially surprised about the number of people who chose "SQL Server cannot start if the master database is unavailable". I am no master or expert, so I won't rant and rave about it, but I do hope the people who answered it incorrectly took the time to look into why their answer was incorrect. Knowing that SQL Server cannot start due to an unavailable master database is a pretty important thing to know.

Thanks again,

Matt

Great question. Even better for being your first one.

Very clear and easy to understand.

I even laughed when I read the "Log in as windows Administrator" bit.

Keep it up! 😎

I have to post my agreement to this.

Knowing how to restore the Master Database from a backup can even save lives. :smooooth:
