What are the basic functions for master, msdb, model, tempdb and resource databases?

Answer Posted / Shyama Nand Kumar

The Master database stores metadata about the SQL Server instance and its databases. The MSDB database is used to store system-stored procedures, log history, error logs, and other administrative tasks. The Model database is a template for creating new databases on an instance. The Tempdb database stores temporary objects during a SQL Server session. The Resource databases in SQL Server (System databases) are reserved for internal usage.
