Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to know, if for suppose , I am connected to PRIMARY node, and I know that we can do backups/read data on secondary server's. Normally to connect to an AG we use a listener or a virtual network name? But for instance I want to get connected to anyone of the Secondary readonly instance and run some reporting SELECT queries. How can I do that? I mean, How can connect to Secondary replica? Can I directly specify the servername/IP address of the server and connect to it in SQL Server Management Studio and run my queries or do I need to do anything else ?
Also, what is Read only routing in AGs?
Thanks in Advance.
