SQL Server Patching

  • I am a junior DBA and very new to patching MS SQL server.

    The following is my dev server details

    9.00.3080.00 SP2 Standard Edition (64-bit)

    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3080.00 (X64) Sep 6 2009 09:15:46 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.0 (Build 6002: Service Pack 2)

    I am not sure what service pack to choose to patch the dev server. Can anyone take me on the right track?

    Thank you in advance.

    Current service pack for sql2005 is SP4.

    I would go for that one.

  • we have programfiles x86 and programfiles in c: in the server. There is no database instance running in x86 and all database instances are running in programfiles(64 bit). I am trying to install service pack 4 64 bit . I am getting the error " not a valid 32 bit application". I dont understand the issues. Am I missing something?

  • i solved the issues by installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 RTM
