database mirroring

Does anyone know if you can read the mirror database after installing sql
2005 sp1.
I did setup mirror config before sp1 came out, but at that time the mirror
db was not avilable to read, but I heard then in sp1 it was going to be
fixed, so you can read the mirror db.
Thank you.Check out this thread in this forum: SQL 2005 Architecture Question -
Active Secondary Database?|||Nope. You cannot read the mirror database. You can create a DB Snapshot of
the mirror database and read the snapshot, which has worked since the first
CTPs. For true reporting consider using replication.

while is acting as the 'mirror' role, but you can create a snapshot at any
moment and read from the snapshot. See this link:
