Any risk for SQL Server 2005 SP4 installation?

  • Hello, All:

    We have SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Win 2003, 64bit. There will be a maintenance this weekend that SP4 will be installed.

    Could you share the experience please, any risk?

    Thanks.

  • SP4 for the OS or for SQL 2005?

    According to the SQL Server site at Microsoft, only SP3 is available.

  • Sorry to think about SQL Server 2000, Yes, SP3 of SQL Server 2005. Any advice please?

  • Pretty straight forward.

    Backup user and system databases.

    Run the SP executable

    Test your apps.

    You should apply the sp in dev or qa long before trying to update a production system as well.
