DATABASE MANAGEMENT
Database redirects and database moves
When you move a database, the Move Database dialog box offers an option to create a database redirect that allows clients to update their references to the database you are deleting.
Database redirects and database deletes
When you delete a database, the Confirm Database Delete dialog box contains an option to create a database redirect that allows clients to update their references to the database you are deleting as well as an option to redirect clients to another server. If the redirect server name is set, it must not be the same server on which the deletion is to take place. If all replicas are to be deleted, the redirect server must not be in the same domain.
Database redirects without references
If a database redirect exists, but due to database deletes or moves contains no reference to a database, the client removes its references to the original database.
