Perhaps this listing is no longer being maintained for SQL 2012? There has been Service Pack 2 released, as well as a hotfix for that release [http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=2969896&kbln=en-us]

Regarding the comment above the version list: "Note that Service Packs include all builds below that Service Pack level. So any builds listed below Service Pack 1 are included in Service Pack 1. Those below Service Pack 2 (including Service Pack 1), are included in SP2, etc. "

I don't think that is really true.

For example, when SQL 2012 SP2 came out, it only included SQL 2012 SP1 CU1-CU9, it did not include SP1 CU10 or CU11

So even though patching from SP1 CU10 to SP2 moves you to a higher version number, it effectively uninstalls SP1 CU10.

You don't get that back until you upgrade again to SP2 CU1.

And then SP2 CU1 does include SP1 CU10, but it does not include SP1 CU11.

I don't believe there is an SP2 equivalent of SP1 CU11 yet, but I assume there will be an SP2 CU2 soon that will bring everything back into sync.

Yes and no. In general the SPs have included all CUs, but depending on the release schedule, a particular fix might not make it into the SP, so the CU might have a fix the SP does not. Don't forget also that the SP is a point in time. It doesn't mean that CUs for previous SPs will not be released. Once SP2 comes out, we can get CU11, CU12, CU13, etc. for SP1.

At most a single CU has fixes not included in the SP at the time of release, but this is the exception, not the rule.

I have installed SP2 on our SQL2012 but when I run SELECT @@Version it states

[font="Arial Black"]Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.5058.0 (X64)

May 14 2014 18:34:29

Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation

Enterprise Edition: Core-based Licensing (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

[/font]

The build number is SP2 but the text states Service Pack 1. If I try re run the SP2 installation it shows nothing to upgrade.

why does it show SP1 in the text?

tdietrich Old Hand Points: 358 More actions · Answer 13

Everything after the word "on" in the last line is the version of Windows, not the version of SQL.

on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

That's telling you that you are on Service Pack 1 of Windows.

:-D. DOh! I guess that I should just read the message not guess what it is saying. 😀

Thanks for your reply.

just a thought, but maybe this might show required...

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion') AS ProductVersion, SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel') AS ProductLevel,

SERVERPROPERTY('Edition') AS Edition,CASE(SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition'))

WHEN 1 THEN '1: Personal or Desktop Engine'

WHEN 2 THEN '2: Standard (Standard/Small Business Server/Web and Workgroup)'

WHEN 3 THEN '3: Enterprise (Enterprise/Enterprise Evaluation/Data Center/Developer)'

WHEN 4 THEN '4: Express (Express/Express with Advanced Services/Windows Embedded SQL)'

WHEN 5 THEN '5: SQL Azure'

ELSE 'Returned (enumeration reqd): ' + cast(SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition') AS varchar(10)) END AS EngineEdition;
