Re: PIT Recovery of only certain database in the "cluster" ?

Thanks Tom,

Pardon me this one additional Q since I'm used to SQLsrv/Oracle where this single db point in time restore would be quite easily done :
Is the thought behind this, that databases in a cluster will always be "dependent" on each other and therefore likely to require a recovery of all cluster databases to the same point in time, if requested by one of the "application database owners" ?

So, one is forced to create "single database cluster" if we want to offer single database recovery, isolated from other running databases ?
