New cumulative Updates for SQL Server 2008 SP2/SP3 are available!

Aaron Bertrand January 20th, 2012 SQL Server / SQL Server 2008 3

On Monday, I completely missed that the SQL Server Release Services team published two cumulative updates for SQL Server 2008. I'd blame jury duty, but that didn't start until Tuesday, and only lasted two days. Well, better late than never.

Cumulative Update #8 for SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2

KB : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648096
Build number : 10.00.4326
Number of fixes : 6
Relevant for : Builds of SQL Server where SELECT @@VERSION yields between 10.00.4000 and 10.00.4325

Cumulative Update #3 for SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 3

KB : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648098
Build number : 10.00.5770
Number of fixes : 14
Relevant for : Builds of SQL Server where SELECT @@VERSION yields between 10.00.5000 and 10.00.5769

As usual, I'll post my standard disclaimer here: these updates are NOT for SQL Server 2008 R2 (where @@VERSION will report 10.50.xxxx).

P.S. this is blog post #499. You're probably not counting, but I am. 🙂

Do I see something wrong but the http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlreleaseservices/ appears to me to be out by 2 months now.

You don't need to "blame" anything. Even with a five day delay you're still the best resource I've found for this information…beter even than a purchased utility that is almost always at least a week behind (and at times a month or two behind). Thanks for this great service to the SQL community!
