I have a general question :
1. Once you have applied MS03-031 on SQL Server 2000, do you need to reboot? [also same for sql server 7.0]
I saw that one of the articles in the website says you don't need to reboot unless the files are in use while installing the patches. Then how would I know if it's in use...

The installation will tell you whether you need to reboot the server.

As a personal 'best practice' I ALWAYS reboot after SP or hotfix installations. You never know when you are going to run into that one instance that will drive you nuts ! And I even do so after an initial installation as well ...

There are a number of services which may be affected by the install, if you don't stop these services you need to reboot - snmp is one service I can think of.
