http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934459Wasn't 3052 the bad release of sp2? I'vfe got 3054 on 3 boxes and no issues with them.|||How do I patch up to 3054?

I am having such a time trying to figure out which cummulative hotfix to apply. I applied the hotfix mentioned in my original post and brought my release up to 9.0.3159 - now I read somewhere that this might not be a stable release? Can you suggest what level or release should I patch my 9.0.3042 Production box to?? and how do I find it?|||Here' are links that describe the issue:

After M$oft issued the first sp2, they pulled it down for a short while then put a corrected version up on the web site. you should be able to go here and get the latest sp2:

Once I do that. can you tell me how to find the latest post sp2 hotfix?|||Hotfixes are usually handled by Microsoft PSM on a per case basis. Many times they require a password to open. You will have to contact Microsoft, which means being prepared to pay for the incident, but if the problem is a M$oft issue, they will not charge you for the hotfix.|||I did not know that. I thought that if someone opened an issue that they fixed with a hotfix - they then made it available to everyone.|||Microsoft does not release hotfixes because they are often very, very specific and only fix one part of a larger problem. The hotfixes do get analyzed and carried forward into service packs (SPs), but in a very different way that has much more design and QA work than a hotfix gets.

Hotfixes are intended to be "one off" solutions to a specific problem for a specific customer. Hotfixes generally should not be shared or applied unless there is a specific, critical need.

-PatP|||At http://www.sqlsecurity.com, they maintain a (pretty current) list of SQL patches and hot fixes.

The ones that are marked "PSS Only" are not intended to be made publicly available. They are available only by calling MS support and getting (from them) a link to the hotfix (which is zipped and protected by a password which changes every 7 days).

There are, however, some hotfixes which are NOT password protected and may be downloaded without calling M$.

PS. I should note that calling MS for any of these hotfixes does not cost anything.|||Great info. Thank you for everything!
