installing SP's on sql server 2005.....

  • After you install sql server...and its setting at RTM....do you have to install SP1 first...then 2,3 etc...or could I go straight to SP3 (I need to be at 9.0.4226)

    does it matter?

    thanks.

  • You can start with the installation of SP3. Sometimes you do need to install the earlier ones first, so you should always check, but in the case, you don't.

    HTH,

  • Yep, exactly. Service Packs are cumulative.
