SQL Server 7/2K latest build..

  • Just want to ask and verify by the SQL Gurus here that the latest build for SQL 7.0 is 7.00.1094 and SQL2K is 8.00.850 right? Correct me if I am wrong and is there a site can can verify this? thanks gurus..

  • Thanks.. But SQL2k as I know latest build is 8.00.850. I think this might be a private fix so it not out there..

  • The highest I have is 8.00.844. You are right these fixes are for specific purpose. If you don't face the particular problem, don't apply it. MS03-031 (8.00.818) is the latest one you should apply.

  • As far as applying SP, when you apply a SP to the SQL Server do you have to apply it to the Client too? thanks..

  • It depends. Most of hotfixes are for server but some of them are for client tools, for example, 8.00.819. Read corresponding KB before you apply it.

  • Thanks Allen.. Another question, I notice the posting on http://www.sqlsecurity.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=37 that latest build is 8.00.873 but I can't seem to find the link to download the patch. Is this private and I have to contact MS for that specific patch? And how do these people get their hand on these info as far as the latest patch and stuffs? thanks..

  • For specific hotfix, you have to call PSS to get it.

    You can search sqlserver.exe on Microsoft KB articls regularly to find out the hotfixes with build number.

  • Does the SP/pathes apply to the OLAP server too? If not, where can I get some info on the OLAP SP and hotfixes? thanks again..
