Set Up SQL Server Mirroring T-SQL Script

The first thing you need to do when setting up Database Mirroring is perform a full backup followed by a transaction log backup on the principal server.  You then must restore these to the mirror server using the WITH NORECOVERY option of the RESTORE command.

    Thanks great and very short article.
    I was facing issue while doing failover.
    [error msg:-The database mirroring service cannot be forced...]
    I would suggest to keep safety ON to avoid such error.
    Please refer below code.


    /*Set partner, set asynchronous mode, and setup job on principal server*/

    ALTER DATABASE DatabaseName SET PARTNER = N'TCP://MirrorServer:PortNumber'
    ALTER DATABASE DatabaseName SET SAFETY ON --use ON instead of OFF.
    EXEC sys.sp_dbmmonitoraddmonitoring -- default is 1 minute
