SP1 for SQL Server 2008 R2

  • Hi,

    when MS is planning to release SP1 for SQL Server 2008 R2?

    Can we use R2 for Production as it is in RTM version now?

    Thanks

  • Since it's only been in production for a couple of weeks, I have not heard any news about a possible service pack. I suspect it's at least 6-9 months out.

    Yes, you can put it in production. It's really only a service pack for SQL Server 2008.

  • The focus on R2 seems to be more for BI-specific functionality, most of it peripheral to the database engine. I'd be willing to put the R2 database engine production now (as Grant points out, the core database engine functionality hasn't been radically altered).
