I have two servers in SQL 2008 R2, one for production and another for replication, replication is going to be using SRDF, reading about SRDF is byte level but my question is, if device E is on SAN and this is te device that replication will use, do I need to move my master database to E?
Does SRDF works with master database?
Is it dangerous that my master database be located in a SAN device?
Thanks.

Thanks

First of all, I would like to thank you for all your efforts towards helping SQL server professionsals.

I have a question:

1. System stored procedures are stored in Master or MSDB database.

I can find the system stored procs in both master and msdb db’s. So i am very much confused about the answer.

I have some questions regarding SQL Server.

1.What is the output of the following statement:

select * from aer1,aer2 (if aer1 has 10 records & aer2 has 6 records)

without any condition but joining the tables.

2.delete from table1,table2

Do you have usable backup of master database to restore? If you have then you can restore the master database. For that you will have to start the SQL Server in single user mode using command:
NET START “MSSQLSERVER” /m

If you not have backup then use the rebuildm utility to create a new master database then attach all other database.

Regards,
Pinal Dave
