&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The SQL Server team has released CU #8 for SQL Server 2012 RTM.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;KB article:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a mce_href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2844205" href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2844205"&gt;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2844205&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Build # is 11.0.2410&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;This build has 6 fixes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;Relevant for builds 11.0.2100 -&amp;gt; 11.0.2409. Do not attempt to install on SQL Server 2012 SP1 (any build &amp;gt;= 11.0.3000) or any previous version.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 CTP is available</title><link>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2012/05/14/sql-server-2008-r2-service-pack-2-ctp-is-available.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2012 18:23:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:43345</guid><dc:creator>AaronBertrand</dc:creator><description>You can download the Service Pack 2 CTP from the following URL: &lt;br&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29848" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29848&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;


&lt;p&gt;The build # is 10.50.3720. This service pack contains all of the fixes from Service Pack 1 &amp;amp; Cumulative Updates 1 through 5, and a couple of other minor fixes (a couple of SSRS bugs and a bug about an ALTER TABLE batch not being cached correctly). It does not include fixes from Service Pack 1 Cumulative Update #6, which &lt;a href="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2012/04/17/new-cumulative-updates-for-sql-server-2008-r2-rtm-sp1-are-available.aspx" title="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2012/04/17/new-cumulative-updates-for-sql-server-2008-r2-rtm-sp1-are-available.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;I mentioned recently&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You should &lt;b&gt;*NOT*&lt;/b&gt; install this service pack preview if:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; your build number (SELECT @@VERSION;) is 10.00.xxxx (since this is SQL Server 2008, not SQL Server 2008 R2);&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;your build number is &amp;gt;= 10.50.1815 and &amp;lt; 10.50.2500 (since you may be undoing fixes you are using from RTM CU13); or,&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;your build number is &amp;gt;= 10.50.2811 (since you will be undoing fixes you might be using from SP1 CU6).&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Cumulative Update 12 for SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2659692" title="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2659692" target="_blank"&gt;KB #2659692&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Build 10.50.1810&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3 fixes but none are directly related to the relational engine. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;My recommendation: &lt;/b&gt;Consider applying if SELECT @@VERSION is between 10.50.1600 and 10.50.1809, you are affected by any of the issues highlighted in the KB article, 
and you are avoiding Service Pack 1 intentionally (otherwise you should 
install SP1 and CU5 for SP1).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt;My usual disclaimer: these updates are NOT for SQL Server 2008. Only apply to systems where @@VERSION returns 10.50.xxxx.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>New cumulative updates for SQL Server 2008 R2 are available!</title><link>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2011/12/20/new-cumulative-updates-for-sql-server-2008-r2-are-available.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Dec 2011 15:18:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:40554</guid><dc:creator>AaronBertrand</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Microsoft has just released cumulative updates for both SQL Server 2008 R2 branches - RTM and Service Pack 1.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 Cumulative Update #4&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2633146/" title="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2633146/" target="_blank"&gt;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2633146/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Build number is 10.50.2796&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Contains 53 fixes (as of February 6, 2012)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM Cumulative Update #11&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2633145/" title="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2633145/" target="_blank"&gt;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2633145/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Build number is 10.50.1809&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Contains 23 fixes (as of February 6, 2012) &lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;As usual, I'll post my standard disclaimer here: these updates are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt; for SQL Server 2008 (where @@VERSION will report 10.00.xxxx).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Cumulative Updates for SQL Server 2008 R2 are available!</title><link>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2011/10/17/cumulative-updates-for-sql-server-2008-r2-are-available.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:57:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:39135</guid><dc:creator>AaronBertrand</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Today Microsoft has released Cumulative Updates for SQL Server 2008 R2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cumulative Update #10 for SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Build number: 10.50.1807&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;KB article: &lt;a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2591746" title="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2591746" target="_blank"&gt;KB #2591746&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;13 fixes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cumulative Update #3 for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Build number: 10.50.2789&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;KB article: &lt;a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2591748" title="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2591748" target="_blank"&gt;KB #2591748&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;22 fixes&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Please note: these updates are for SQL Server 2008 R2 only - not for the original SQL Server 2008 release (regardless of service pack level).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Cumulative Update #9 for SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM is available</title><link>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/aaron_bertrand/archive/2011/08/16/cumulative-update-9-for-sql-server-2008-r2-is-available.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:08:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:37847</guid><dc:creator>AaronBertrand</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Last night Microsoft released a new cumulative update package (CU #9) for SQL Server 2008 R2.
