Confused related to service pack of sql server

  • Hi All,

    I run the query :-

    select @@Version

    and it gives me the result as :-

    Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2040 (Intel X86) May 13 2005 18:33:17

    Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

    and if I run this query :-

    SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

    8.00.2040SP4Enterprise Edition

    which one is giving me correct detail and why not other??????? :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

  • thats what i replied

    first query gives u windows operating system service pack

    second query gives u sql server service pack.

    why?

    thats how microsoft has liked to do the things.

    if u r a professional DBA by looking at version no. u can get the idea of SP

    I can't see any difference in SQL Server versions there :blink:

  • Paul,

    His question was regarding difference in service pack level as he got confused with OS pack level and SQL SP Level.
