Hi
I upgraded to SQL 2005 after reading the list in "Top 30 Features of SQL Server 2005":
Database Mirroring | Extend log shipping capabilities with the new database mirroring solution. You will be able to use database mirroring to enhance availability of your SQL Server systems by setting up automatic failover to a standby server. |
But then i read http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/dbmirror.mspx
"Microsoft support policies do not apply to the database mirroring feature in SQL Server 2005. Database mirroring is currently disabled by default, but may be enabled for evaluation purposes only by using trace flag 1400 as a startup parameter. (For more information about trace flags, see Trace Flags (Transact-SQL).) Database mirroring should not be used in production environments, and Microsoft support services will not support databases or applications that use database mirroring. Database mirroring documentation is included in SQL Server 2005 for evaluation purposes only, and the Documentation Policy for SQL Server 2005 Support and Upgrade does not apply to the database mirroring documentation."
How does this match?

It's been common knowledge for some time actually.
Database mirroring was marked as an unsupported feature back in June. When did you upgrade?
It is expected to be supported after a June service pack.

A few weeks ago.
Thanks for the info.
