SQL Server Latest Service Pack

  • Hi ,

    What is the latest Service pack for SQL Server 2000. Is RTM the latest one? If we install SP4 set up Select Serverproperty('productlevel') shows RTM.

    Why is it so?

    Regards,

    Rohit

  • RTM is the original release of 2000. That is build 194 (8.00.194). Service Pack 4 is 8.00.2039

    What does @@version return? There are hotfixes post SP4, so your version might be higher.

    Sp1 - 384

    SP2 - 534

    SP3 - 760

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your reply. @@version returns the below results.

    Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194 (Intel X86)

  • We get this after running

    SQL2000-KB884525-SP4-ia64-ENU.EXE

  • The latest publicly available Service Pack for SQL Server 2000 is "Pack 4 build 2187".

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916287/

    The Database Version will show as "8.00.2187"

    I use the chunk of code below for Database versioning purposes:

    -- --

    -- Show information about all SQL Server Databases.

    -- SQL Server 2000

    USE master

    GO

    select

    -- getdate() as 'Time_Data_Gathered'

    --,

    cast(serverproperty('ServerName') as varchar(20)) as [Server Name]

    ,Case when serverproperty('InstanceName') is null

    then '(default)'

    else serverproperty('InstanceName')

    end as [Instance Name]

    ,name as [Database Name]

    ,cast(serverproperty('productversion') as varchar(20)) as [Product Version]

    ,cast(serverproperty('productlevel') as varchar(20)) as [Product Level]

    ,cast(serverproperty('edition') as varchar(40)) as [Edition]

    FROM dbo.sysdatabases

    -- --

    This is the service pack for 64-bit Itanium version. Your select @@version result shows an Intelx86 version. So you have the wrong service pack you need the x86 version.
