How do you find out which service pack is installed on SQL Server?
We are installing sp5a but we get an error saying 'cfgchar.exe could not execute' and at the end it says ' can not install successfully'.
How can I understand If I really installed sp ?
Hello all,
Is there a preferred method for detecting SQL Server 2005 SP2? I do installation/deployment and during my install script I would prefer to skip the SP2 install if the instance is already upgraded.
I had tried to check HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerInstance NamesSQL to first find out what MSSQL.[n] our instance took.
After that I was attempting to check HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.[n]SetupSP but there have been cases where the key SP did not exist.
I decided I could just install it under the condition that no key existed at all, assuming since the 'SP' key did not exist, the instance was not upgraded. In tests however, after a fresh install of SP2, the key was not there.
I guess the question is further defined as: does installing SP2 place a flag that it exists anywhere else? Is it supposed to write to HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.[n]SetupSP?
Thanks,

Hi,
How can I find out what service pack is installed on SQL Server 7 ?
Thanks.
MS SQL server 6.5 - SP4
Our errorlog shows that the error that
" exception_access_violation raised,attempting to create symptom dump .................................................. ..........................................input buffer is <stored procedure name>"
some times it hangs the whole server also.
The above stored procedure contains individual row processing using cursors update within a transaction.
I searched MS support online,TechNet and Helps online.....but i didn't get the proper reason......
When any one faced the same problem above... could you please suggest what is the problem....?
I am awaiting your valuable suggestions... please
Thanking you

Hi,
Is there a way to determine what RS service pack is installed on your pc? Aside from the print button on your IE browser. You can't check it on the about RS nor on you add/remove programs window...Thanks...
We just installed the service pack 2 to our server, so I did a select @@version but it's still say Service Pack 1, even though the version number is now 3054. Is that a bug in the service pack?
Thanks.
How can I determine what versioin and service pack of MSDE i have?
View 20 Replies View RelatedWe have a product that uses, and will bootstrap, several of the feature pack components when it is installed (xmo, MSOLAP9, etc). However, if our product is installed on a machine that has SQL Server 2005 already installed, all of the feature pack components will have been installed as part of the server install, so we don't want to bootstrap them in that case. Is there a good way to detect this case? Clearly, simply checking that the feature pack MSI hasn't been installed isn't good enough, since SQL Server has its own MSIs that are different from the FP MSIs.

Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Thank you very much

Happy Holidays Everyone,
Does anyone know when SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 5 came out and of any reviews on it?? Would like to make sure there are no major issues or bugs before installing company-wide. Thanks in Advance, Bill.
If I update my SQL Server 6.5 server with sp5a, do I need to also update the clients?
My clients only have the 'SQL Client Configuration Utility' installed.
Thanks!

Has anyone had a problem when installing service pack 2 or 3 on SQL Server 7.0? I'm stuck at MDAC upgrade every time, had to 'end task'. Did select @@version afterwards, still on the old version. I didn't try service pack 1 yet.
I found the following page titled "Can't install SQL server service pack 1", but I'm unable to access.

Any help will be appreciated. Please email me directly. Thanks in advance.

Can someone help me out to uninstall service pack 5a on SQL server 6.5? We have few problems with this new service pack. Stored procedures could not delete temporary tables created in them.
Can I load the backup databases from this service pack(5a) to service pack 4 servers?
Thanks in advance,
Mohan
I wanted to find out more about Service Pack 5. I have heard that the purpose of this service pack is to make SQL Server 6.5 Y2K compliant.
Does anyone know anything about this Service Pack (its contents, release date etc). I have checked the Microsoft SQL Server home page, MSDN Library, TechNet, Knowledge Base and have not had much luck.
Thanks!

Hi Everybody,
We have SQL Server 6.5. We planned to go for Service Pack 5a. Right now SP3 is running on SQL. I went through the "Microsoft Site", we also noted down
some information from the site. In our server we didn't set any password for 'sa'. In the Documentation they hv given some options for setup. I am not able to follow that. Can anybody explain to me what options I hv to give while I execute the setup.exe for "SP5a" and Can anybody please tell me what precautions we have to take before installing the SP5a?.

Does anyone know an easy way to tell when a SQL Server service pack was installed?

I participate in the SQL Server Integration Services and Reporting Services forums and I have seen many outstanding issues users would like to see fixed. Is there a SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 being developed and if so when would it become available?
Is there no "passive" install mode for SP1 (gui but no user input required)? I can run unattended using the /quiet switch but this gives me absolutely no feedback as to progress or success/failure of the install. It also returns to the command prompt immediately whilst kicking of msiexec in the background, meaning I can't trap any errorlevel. How are we supposed to check success or failure in applying the SP for unattended installs? For rolling this out across an enterprise we need something, usually hotfix.exe has a passive install mode.
thx, Simon.
SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 has been released to the web. Many of the questions asked on this forum will be solved by applying Service Pack 2. Please take the time to read about the many benefits this service pack provides.

Hi,
I'm just installed the sqlserver 2005 sp2 without installing service pack 1. Can i install service pack 1 after installing sp2? or is it sp2 includes all the sp1 updates?
Thank you and Have a nice day.
Regards,
Ben
I have recently installed SQL Server SP2 on a Windows 2003 x64 server SP 1 and now I cannot open existing packages on that machine. The packages work fine on other machines. Also, when I create a new package and then attempt to add a data flow component, I get an error that the designer could not be initialized. It does add the component, but when I try to delete it, I get an error that the collection cannot be null (parameter: c). I have read some posts that point to registry permssions, and have ran the sample c# code, but I do not see any problems. Anyone have a suggestion?

How to know which service pack is running in the reporting services? I am aware of " SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel')" command. But I guess it shows only sql server sp not reporting service sp. Am I right?
