Database mirroring for report database

2015-05-03T02:26:06

I have a problem that our production database is under heavy load. So we have decide that we setup a second SQL server running copy of production database that doesn't need to be 100% uptodate with production database.

After searching I have found that asynchronous mirroring of production database might do the trick. Mirror database would be only read-only for reports and stuff. So I managed to set it up, but have found out that I can't read any data from mirror database because it is in recovery mode.

No I would like to know if my problem is solvable with mirroring or we should use alternative?
