Confused about SQL Server SP1 (KB968369)

  • Hi folks 🙂

    Windows Update has Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (KB968369) as an optional update, but the only problem is that I thought I had already installed it awhile ago.

    My PC is a 64-bit Vista Ultimate machine and I am using the Express Edition of SQL Server 2008.

    Some time ago it showed up in the list, so I made several attempts to install it, all to no avail.

    If I remember correctly, I eventually worked out that I had to download/install the SP1 of the full version, so I did this and it seemed to go fine.

    I have run two queries as follows:

    SELECT @@VERSION AS 'SQL Server Version'

    This returned the following result:

    SQL Server Version

    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP1) - 10.0.2531.0 (X64) Mar 29 2009 10:11:52 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition with Advanced Services (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.0 <X64> (Build 6002: Service Pack 2) /quote]

    -------------------------------------------------

    SELECT

    SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion') AS ProductVersion,

    SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel') AS ProductLevel,

    SERVERPROPERTY('Edition') AS Edition,

    SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition') AS EngineEdition;

    GO

    ProductVersion ProductLevelEdition EngineEdition

    10.0.2531.0 SP1 Express Edition with Advanced Services (64-bit)4

    -------------------------------------------------

    These two queries as I understand it, seem to show that I do have SP1 installed.

    So, I am confused :unsure:. If somebody could enlighten me I would really appreciate it.

    Kind regards

    Ross

  • Is it possible that you have 2 instances of SQL Server installed? One may be patched and the other may not.
