Another SQL 2005 SP2 Cumulative Update
Well it’s been about 6 weeks since the last Cumulative Update so it must be time for a new one. So as of today (6/16/08) we now have 8 Cumulative Updates for SQL 2005 SP2 which you can get here. I haven’t downloaded it yet, but I can tell you that I can’t wait until SP3 comes out. I’ve installed all of them from CU1 through CU7 so far and actually found something interesting with CU6 and CU7. CU1 through CU5 got progressively larger to the point that CU5 was around 200 MB if I remember correctly, however when I downloaded CU6 and then CU7 it was significantly smaller (under 20 MB) each, so not sure what happened there.
Anyway, as always the best place I have found to look for SQL version information is SQLSecurity.com. Although Microsoft also keeps one for 2005 here and SQL Server Central also keeps a list here.
