Do I need to install two patches for 2012 individually?

  • We are on version SP4 for SQL Server 2012. Since SP4, there have been two security patches released, one on 2/11/20 and the other recently on 1/12/21. If I install the latest 1/12/21 security patch, will it "include" the patch for 2/11/20, or do I need to install both of them (in sequence)?

  • The security updates are not cumulative, so yeah, you'd need to install them separately. BTW, according to this site, there are three, not two for 2012 SP4.

  • The security patches change the build level so it stands to reason that they are cumulative.
