SQL Server Version Listing
Last week we got into a strange issue regarding some SQL Server 2008 post-installation error messages. Technet mentioned that such occurrences are reported when we are using a version prior to Cumulative Update (CU6). But it wasnt getting clear if a particular build came prior or before CU6 (yes, sounds insane, but we landed there!).
Anyways, I came across a web-resource from SQLSecurity.com available here, which is quite helpful as it lists down complete history of SQL Server builds ever published (public/private, CU, SP, Patches – everything). Now, there is another web-resource from SQLTeam available here, but it enlists only major Releases, CU, SP etc. I used to reference SQLTeam link till sometime back, but given the level of depth on SQLSecurity site, I think that too is quite a useful reference point going forward.
