What are the basic functions for master, msdb, model, tempdb and resource databases? : SQL Server Ar..

Answer / Saurabh Sonkar

"The basic functions of the SQL Server databases are as follows:nn- master: It is a system database that maintains metadata, security, and system configuration information about all databases on an instance of SQL Server.n- msdb: This is another system database that stores data related to SQL Server Agent jobs, alerts, history, and other system-related data.n- model: It is a user-defined template for new databases. Any changes made to the model database will be applied to any new databases created unless specifically overridden.n- tempdb: This is a temporary database that is used to store intermediate results, sorting data, and work tables during query execution. All objects in tempdb are dropped each time the SQL Server instance is restarted.n- resource: These are system databases that can be created by third-party applications. They are used to store application metadata and resources."
