SQL 2005 mirroring endpoints

Hi everyone. hope someone can help me out here.

If I want to mirror 3 x different databases on the same instance , do they all need their own TCP endpoint , or do I use just 1 end point for them all ? guessing they all need their own endpoint in the same instance ?

thanks in advance.

You specify the endpoints for each database, but they can all be the same.

For example I have one client who has a Primary server DBSERVER01 and a mirror server DBSERVER02. For each of the databases configured in database mirroring I have configured the Principal end-point as

TCP://DBSERVER01.domain.com:5022

and the mirror as

TCP://DBSERVER02.domain.com:5022

Many thanks Kev , so I was wrong in assuming they all need their own end point.

Well you could do it that way, having separate endpoints per database, but not sure what you would gain.

As recommended in BOL, you should use only one endpoint

If a database mirroring endpoint exists and is already in use, we recommend that you use that endpoint for every session on the server instance

@MickyMd Can you please change the title of the question to a more precise subject? Thanks

@Kev Riley On many such Q&A sites, the questions can be edited by the moderators/users. Is this option available here?
