New Cumulative Updates for SQL Server 2005 & SQL Server 2008 R2

AaronBertrand — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 14:13:00 GMT

Early this morning (or late last night, depending on your time zone), the SQL Server Release Services team pushed out three new cumulative updates for SQL Server.

KB #2489375 - SQL Server 2005 SP3 CU #14 (9.00.4317)
KB #2489409 - SQL Server 2005 SP4 CU #2 (9.00.5259)
KB #2489376 - SQL Server 2008 R2 CU #6 (10.50.1765)

There are a lot more fixes in the 2008 R2 update - 43, by my count. In comparison, only 9 fixes for 2005 SP4, and only 2 fixes for 2005 SP3. You can draw your own conclusions from that data, particularly if you are still on SQL Server 2005 and are reluctant to upgrade.

And I hate to sound like a broken record, but to reiterate what I've said in other blog posts announcing CUs or service packs for 2008/2008 R2, none of the cumulative updates listed above are eligible for SQL Server 2008 (RTM, SP1 or SP2). I really hope Microsoft takes the confusion they've caused seriously.

Cumulative Updates for SQL Server 2005 SP3 and 2008 R2 are available

After releasing SQL Server 2005 SP4 on Friday (you can read more about it here), the release services team did not hang up their hats for the Christmas holiday, but continued working on other releases.

KB #2438344 : Cumulative update package 13 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3
This brings your SQL Server 2005 SP3 build number to 9.00.4315
KB #2438347 : Cumulative Update package 5 for SQL Server 2008 R2
This brings your SQL Server 2008 R2 build number to 10.5.1753

NOTES:
You will not be able to apply Cumulative Update #13 to SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4! This release is for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 only. I still suspect that we won't see a cumulative update for SP4 until a month into the new year - however maybe it will contain the fixes from both CU#12 and CU#13.

You cannot apply Cumulative Update #5 to SQL Server 2008! This release is for SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM only.

Today Microsoft has released two updates for SQL Server. Listed below are the two updates, the blog posts from the SQL Server Release Services team, and the KB articles where you can read about the fixes and request downloads.

SQL Server 2005 SP3 Cumulative Update #12

This release is build # 9.00.4311.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Cumulative Update #4

New Cumulative Updates for SQL Server 2005 SP3 & SQL Server 2008 R2

AaronBertrand — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 15:00:00 GMT

On Monday, Microsoft released two cumulative updates for SQL Server:

KB #983329 : CU #10 for SQL Server 2005 SP3 (build # = 9.00.4305)

KB #2072493 : CU #2 for SQL Server 2008 R2 (build # = 10.50.1720)

Missing is an update for SQL Server 2008 SP1. It seems the SQL Server Release Services team has changed the schedule up a bit, as previously they were releasing 2005 SP3 updates on one cycle, and 2008 SP1 / 2008 R2 updates on another. It would be great if they could get all three branches onto the same schedule.
