Sep 27, 2007Are there any guidelines or best practices for deploying or testing Service Packs? What types of tests should be performed prior to upgrading or do I just trust Microsoft?

What About Re-applying SQL 2005 Service Packs When Upgrading Express SP1 To Workgroup, Etc.?
Aug 8, 2006 How do SQL 2000 service packs play a role in upgrading? That is, can SQL 2000 Standard with no Service Packs(SP) be upgraded to SQL 2005 Standard, or does SQL 2000 Standard have to have a certain service pack(SP).

Applying Service Packs To SQL Server 2000 Instance Attached To Sql Server 2005
Jan 8, 2008Hi,
I have an interesting situation here. I have a SQL Server 2000 database which is attached to SQL Server 2005. The database (SQL 2000) however only has service pack 3 applied. I need to apply SP4 before I can move forward with SQL 2000->2005 upgrade. The question: can I somehow apply this support package with my current configuration or should I install full SQL 2000 front-end anew (which I don't have at the moment)? Whenever I try to run SQL 2000 SP4 it complains "SQL Server 2000 is not installed on this machine."
The server I try to install the update is Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition x64. SQL Server 2000 database itself is x86 (obviously).
Thanks.

Mar 15, 2000A couple of service packs have been issued for SQL 7.0, depending upon requirements these may or may not need to be installed. Where can I go to get information on these service packs? And what version numbers will be displayed using "SELECT @@version" ?

Sep 1, 2000I'm kind of new to SQL 7.0. I have a question regarding where to get the service packs from. When I go into sql server enterprise manager and choose the about option on our server it shows service pack 6. When I do it on my laptop it shows 4. I want to get them on the same service pack. Unfortunatley I wasn't the one who put it on the server and I can't find it anywhere. Can someone tell me where I can get the service packs from. I went out to Microsoft page but all I saw was service pack 2.

Jul 20, 2005I am running SQL Server 6.5 on a W2K server. I recently encountered theproblem described in Microsoft KB atricle 153455. The server has NOservice packs installed on it. I have downloaded sp5a from the MS siteand tried to install it, but I am told that SQL Server is not installedon the machine, which it is.I know this is a stretch, but might anyone have the previous servicepacks for 6.5? I can't find them on the MS site, probably because theyare cumulative. My thoughts are if I can get some of the oder SP'sinstalled, then I could get 5a installed.Alternately, does anyone know why the sp might be telling me ths SQLServer isn't installed?Any help is appreciated.David PhelanPitman CompanyTotowa, NJwww.pitman.com"No job is too big, no fee is too big!"

Hey Everyone,
We have SQL 2005 without any service packs. Can directly upgrade SQL 2005 to service pack 2? Or does it require SP1 to be installed first?

Merge Replication With Different Service Packs
Jan 31, 2006I have a Win 2003 server with SQL 2000 SP3 that is publisher and distributor for several merge replication publications. Subscribers are a mixture of SQL 2000 (running SP3 and SP4) and MSDE. I've run into a problem in creating publications that is fixed in SP4 but for various reasons I can't update all of the subscribers that are running SP3. I don't expect any issues updating just my server but will I have any issues running SP4 on my server and SP3 on the subscribers?
Thanks for the help.

Full-Text Indexing And Service Packs
May 3, 2004I have SQL Server 7.0 installed in a Fail-over cluster and currently, Full-text indexing is not installed, since our full-text index resides on a different physical server. In an attempt to consolidate our servers I am looking at installing full-text indexing on our cluster. I understand that there will probably be issues getting the Full-text indexing service to fail-over, but I'm not too concerned with that.
What I am concerned with, is, will I need to re-install the latest SQL Server 7.0 service pack? Does anyone know of any security holes with an un-patched version of the full-text indexing service?
Any advice on this situation is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Applying Service Pack 3a
Feb 20, 2004Hi,
I am trying to install the eval version of Reporting Services. One of the requirements for installing this is to have SQL Server 2000 with service pack 3a. I've downloaded the service pack and followed the instructions documented by Microsoft (applying SQL2KSP3.exe, then SQL2KASP3.exe).
It appears that the application of the service packs did nothing. No errors where returned after the executable was run. But, after having applied these service packs, the version has not changed. I have restarted the service, and the server with no success. The version that is returned is
'Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194'.
I am running MSSQL server Developer Edition, running on Windows 2000 Professional (service pack 4).
Any suggestions. I have even uninstalled the SQL server and re-applied the service packs, so I really am having trouble trying to figure out what to do next.
Thanks,
Jim
