They left it at 'experimental' - you had to turn on a trace flag to get it to work. With this level of confidence in the feature I would recommend applying the service pack before trying it.

I'd recommend not using mirroring for a database with a high level of write activity (say, ASP.NET session state). For a start, you need to use the Full recovery model, which means that the transaction log just grows until you back it up. We're using a SQL Server database as a shared state store for our thin client product, when used in a server farm mode (for load balancing and failover), but due to the requirements of the protocol the database gets updated multiple times per client request. I think I can probably get this down to two. Anyway, because the Mirror partner has to acknowledge all transactions, you get a delay of several milliseconds (normal cross-machine call overhead) on committing every transaction, which slows down your client quite a bit.

In fact I found in in-house testing that if the Mirror went offline for a while, the transaction rate went up a lot. When the Mirror came back online it could never catch up with the transactions that had occurred while it was offline. At least, on the low-end white-box hardware that I was testing with.

For mostly-write databases, clustering is a better solution than mirroring.

Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
