The master database holds information for all databases
located on the SQL Server instance and is theglue that holds the engine
together. Because SQL Server cannot start without a functioning masterdatabase,
you must administer this database with care.
The msdb database stores information regarding database
backups, SQL Agent information, DTS packages, SQL Server jobs, and some
replication information such as for log shipping.
The tempdb holds temporary objects such as global and local
temporary tables and stored procedures.
The model is essentially a template database used in the
creation of any new user database created in the instance.
The resoure Database is a read-only database that contains
all the system objects that are included with SQL Server. SQL Server system
objects, such as sys.objects, are physically persisted in the Resource
database, but they logically appear in the sys schema of every database. The
Resource database does not contain user data or user metadata.
