Hi

I need to know exactly the sequence of events in synchronous mirroring mode. What im reading is this:

1. tranaction recved from a client by primary
2. primary writes trans to trans log
3. log written to dbase ie to disk from log on primary and concurrently sends log to mirror.
4. Primary waits for response from mirror
5. Mirror writes log to disk
6. mirror returns acknowledgement to primary.
7. primary sends conf to client.

I need to know what happens if the mirror DOES NOT SEND THE ACK.

Q1. Does the primary roll the dabse back?
Q2. if so, the data goes back into the trans log awaiting response from mirror and subsequent commitall on primary, correct?
Q2. Whats the timeout period for an ack from the mirror?

Question 1 is the most important. ive bought bloody standard verion with its sync mirroring as oppoed to the laughably expensive Ent edition with its ASYN nmirroring and im wondering if I can get away with it....

Thanks
Alastair

I feel this http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/dbmirror.mspx should clear most of your doubts.
