SQL Server Cumulative Updates (yes or no) ?

  • Hi Folks

    would like to get a feel from you that have more experience with CUs than I do.

    from what I am reading from different blogs and sites, most peole DO NOT like deploying CUs as they

    say that most of the time they are buggy and not fully tested by Microsoft. They suggest waiting for

    the service pack.

    MS even states that you should not deploy a CU unless you have a problem. not very convincing for me to deploy a CU

    Thanks

  • go with your findings and what MS themselves state in the CU information.

    Only apply a CU if it fixes a problem you have actually encountered.

    when I have had to apply CUs they have been fine, but why constantly patch your servers every couple of months? Why risk it?

    I agree, but the guy that installs sharepoint 2010 says he cannot install it because it will not let him unless SQL SERVER 2008 SP 1 has a minimum 0f CPU3 - CPU5, so I guess I have to install the latest CPU which is 9 , I believe

    Thanks

    Jim
