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. <br></p><p>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.</p><p>&nbsp; <br></p>
