What is the purpose of msdb on MS SQL Server?
This should be a simple question for a SQL guru. . .
What exactly is the purpose of the msdb system database (master too if possible)?
The reason I ask is that I'm using some monitoring software on my SQL server and msdb is showing the highest utilization (by far) of any database.
