    Is it possible to maintain no.of.mirror databases in Mirroring.

    I faced this question in  one of interview, I answered not possible in mirroring its possible with log shipping.

    The interviewer told me that its possible Mirroring with log shipping concept( mirror databases can be maintain in multiple servers )

    Is there any concept like that please clarify.

    With database mirroring alone you can only mirror to one server not multiple. However you can maintain more than one target/destination server by mirroring to one server and log shipping to others. So a log shipping principle can also be a mirroring principle. So it really depends on how the interviewer worded the question. Have a look at the following for more details...

    Just to give further information in 2011 "Denali" this is being added up .

    Database can be mirrored on multiple servers and even the database can be put in readonly mode . Refer the following blog
