Author Running Reports During TLog Restoration
LaEsmeralda

We have a standby system where Crystal Reports are running against. Every
time it restores TLog we have to put the database into single user mode or
the running reports will block it from restoring Tlogs. And because of that
those reports fail.
Is there anyway to make both of them run successfully at the same time?
Gracias.

In SQL Server 2005, you could use DB mirroring. Create a snapshot on the
mirror and run your reports off of it.

You could also use replication for this.

Just to add to the other comments, I'd consider looking at transactional
replication with snapshot committed isolation level
(READ_COMMITTED_SNAP
SHOT). This gives a max concurrency solution that
supports FTI and can be backed up for resilience.
