Sp3a on Client SQL Server 2000

  • Hello Everyone,

    How can I verify which service is "installed" on a SQL Server 2000 client?

    On the server we can verify the output of this query "select @@version", but how to get the same kind of information on a client?

    Best regards,

    Carl

  • My question was suppose to be:

    "How can I verify which service pack is "installed" on a SQL Server 2000 client?"

    Instead of:

    "How can I verify which service is "installed" on a SQL Server 2000 client?"

    Sorry for the error.

  • I looked in the registry under:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\80\tools\ClientSetup\CurrentVersion

    I would have tougth that:

    If 

    8.00.194  Then SQL Server 2000 original release

    If 

    8.00.384 -> SP1

    Si

    8.00.534 -> SP2

    Si

    8.00.760 -> SP3 ou SP3A

    But this value did not changed.

    But the new value CSDVersion was set to 8.00.761

    Any idea?

    Best regards,

    Carl

  • There's another discussion about this here http://www.sqlservercentral.com/forums/shwmessage.aspx?forumid=5&messageid=131031.  That thread also contains a link to a Microsoft page with more detailed information about the build versions.  Long and short of it is 8.00.761 indicates SP3a was installed.  Hope this helps.
