HELP! MSDE VERSION

  • How do I know which service pack and version of MSDE is running on a computer. I just installed the sp3 on it and it still says the same version under the client network utility (8.00.194). The only difference I see after the upgrade from sp2 are the versions of the library file name under the Network Library tab. How can I determine which version I have now?

     

    TIA

     

     

  • open up query analyzer and run the query

    select @@version

    make sure you run it with the output to text (not grid) and you'll see your version number

  • Hi, Elsa.  You are looking for C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cliconfig.exe.  When you find it, check the Version tab on the properties.  That will tell you the version and most other info about the utility that you need.

  • by the way I install SP3a and when i run

    select @@version

    (in Query Analyzer) I get this output : Microsoft SQL Server  2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86)   Dec 17 2002 14:22:05   Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation  Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 3)

    Note: this Service Pack 3 is for windows not SQL Server

    and when i check odbcbcp.dll or sqlsrv32.dll

    I get the version : 2000.81.9042.0

    and when i check cliconfig.exe

    I get the version : 2000.85.1014.0

    and under the client network utility, i get (8.00.194)

    does anyone can help us and told us what these numbers are ? and where we can find SP3a ?

    thanks for anyone who reply

  • you can find sql server service pack 3a on http://www.micorosft.com/sql

    service pack 3 and service pack 3a both report the version of

    8.00.760

    although 3a includes the SQL slammer protection. Both of these report back as service pack 3 (not 3a)
