Database Mirror + Snapshot + Replication Questions

All,

We have SQL 2005 db mirror configured with a witness server for high availability. Node 1 is the principal and Node 2 is the mirror. A nightly job creates a snapshot on Node 2. The snapshot is used for previous day reporting queries. We have now been asked to present another copy of the database for near-time reporting. I thought about possibly adding a peer-to-peer replication as part of my environment but was hoping to see what everyone else out there is doing.

Regards,

Ian

I tend to use transactional replication with a pollinginterval of 1 and replicate the execution of stored procedures as much as possible.

Database mail availability

I wanted to know which version of SQL Server 2005 supports Database Mail. I have a SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition. Does that version have the full functionality of database mail.Yes, Database Mail is available in Standard Edition.
