How can I update my SQL-server - not the Windows on the server it's installed but the SQL-server software itself ? Can I just turn to the usual "Windows update site" and there run the "test for updates" ? Best regards KSor, Denmark
You update your SQL Server by applying service packs or hotfixes. On a production box, I would not consider Windows updates. You really want to test a service pack/hotfix before you apply it to the prod. SQL service packs and hotfixes come with installation instructions.

".... Windows updates." - I did NOT talk about updating "Windows" ! "SQL service packs and hotfixes come with installation instructions." - "comes" from where ? ;-)) Thanks Linchi !

You can get the SQL service packs from the MS website. So for instance, if you type "SQL Server 2005" and "Service Pack 2" in Google, it would take you to the download site. > ".... Windows updates." - I did NOT talk about updating "Windows" ! I wasn't talking about updating Wiundows either. I was referring to the Windows Update service.
