I was at an interview the other day and one of the interviewers said that SQL Server 2005 wasn’t quite an Enterprise Database as you couldn’t mirror databases yet.

I looked at this chap and thought, ‘What the hell is he talking about?’   I didn’t say anything ‘cos I didn’t want
to cause an argument but realised afterwards he was testing me.

Unfortunately I think if you had to say what was the number 1 improvement to SQL Server 2005 over SQL Server 2000, it would be Database Mirroring.

Because I didn’t respond I guess I got caught out which proves it’s sometimes what you don’t say that counts.

Ho hum.
