RTM version

  • RTM term is used by Microsoft to differentiate the OEM binaries from the general first deployments before service packs are release, is this true ?

    One of our clients is in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (X64) is this right version for production ? Customer claims it is in not EVAL version , can anyone confirm this.

    Thanks in Advance

  • RTM means 'Release to Manufacturing' (or 'release to market'). It's the first release of a product pre service pack or patch.

    One of our clients is in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (X64) is this right version for production ?

    It's RTM (unpatched). I would suggest applying SP3 as there are a whole lot of bugs fixed in 3 service packs.

    Customer claims it is in not EVAL version , can anyone confirm this.

    Not with just what you posted. Need the rest of the output of @@version as that will say whether it's Evaluation, Enterprise, Standard, etc.

  • Yes Gail you are right... forgot to post complete output of select @@version

    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (X64) Oct 14 2005 00:35:21 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

    From the above understood it is Enterprise Edition not evaluation edition.

    Thanks

    Yup.

    I'd still suggest applying SP3 to it when you have a maintenance window.
