April 2013 Cumulative Updates for SQL Server 2008 R2

AaronBertrand — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 18:00:00 GMT

Today Microsoft released new cumulative updates for SQL Server 2008 R2.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 Cumulative Update # 12

KB Article: KB #2828727
7 fixes listed at time of publication
Build number is 10.50.2874
Relevant for @@VERSION 10.50.2500 through 10.50.2873

SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 Cumulative Update # 6

KB Article: KB #2830140
13 fixes listed at time of publication
Build number is 10.50.4279
Relevant for @@VERSION 10.50.4000 through 10.50.4278

My usual disclaimer: these updates are NOT for SQL Server 2008 (or SQL Server 2012). Only apply to systems where SELECT @@VERSION returns 10.50.xxxx, where xxxx is >= 2500. If xxxx < 2500, you need to start thinking about getting off the RTM branch. And based on the number of fixes making it into the SP2 updates, you might consider abandoning SP1, too, if possible...

Cumulative Update #5 is available for SQL Server 2012 RTM

AaronBertrand — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 03:44:00 GMT

Microsoft has released Cumulative Update #5 for SQL Server 2012 RTM. Note this is *not* a cumulative update for Service Pack 1. So if your build # is >= 11.0.3000, you should not be installing this update.

KB Article: KB #2777772
Build # 11.0.2395
28 fixes at the time of writing

Looking for an update for the Service Pack 1 branch? You'll find that in January. For now at least, unlike the SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1/SP2 branches (which are in sync), the release cycles for SQL Server 2012 CUs will alternate - RTM one month, SP1 the next. This is mainly due to the out-of-band release of SP1 CU1 to get it caught up the the RTM CUs.

This update is only relevant for builds 11.0.2100 -> 11.0.3329. Do not attempt to install on SQL Server 2012 SP1 (any build >= 11.0.3000) or any previous version of SQL Server.

SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Cumulative Update #1 is available!

AaronBertrand — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:17:00 GMT

Waited to deploy SQL Server 2012 until Service Pack 1 was released? Then held off because Service Pack 1 did not include important updates from Cumulative Update #3 and Cumulative Update #4? You're running out of reasons to procrastinate! The SQL Server team has released CU #1 for Service Pack 1, which should include all of the fixes from CU #3 & CU #4, as well as some others.

KB article: KB #2765331
Build # is 11.0.3321
I count a whopping 44 fixes!

Relevant for builds 11.0.3000 -> 11.0.3320. Do not attempt to install on SQL Server 2012 RTM (any build < 11.0.3000) or any previous version.
