Database Mirroring Not Ready for Production When SQL Server 2005 Ships

Database mirroring, a high-availability feature, will be included in the RTM version of the Standard and Enterprise editions of SQL Server 2005, but customers will be required to go through extra steps to turn on the feature. Those who try to enable the feature without following the extra steps will get an error message and warning that the feature is for evaluation purposes only.

Rizzo said that the feature is complete and an army of test machines have beaten on database mirroring. But he said only five or six beta customers have put the feature into production, and Microsoft is uncomfortable with fully releasing a feature that has so few production deployments.
