How to disable database mirroring for a particular database?

Database mirroring is a primarily software solution for increasing database availability. Mirroring is implemented on a per-database basis and works only with databases that use the full recovery model.  There may be a requirement to disable database mirroring for a database that is no longer required.

To achieve this, delete the ENDPOINT for the database and there is an additional step needed to remove that particular database from Database Mirroring. To perform that execute ALTER DATABASE SET PARTNER OFF. The ::= in ALTER DATABASE statement controls mirroring for a database. Values specified with the database mirroring options apply to both copies of the database and to the database mirroring session as a whole. Only one is permitted per ALTER DATABASE statement.
