CU4 for SQL Server 2008 RTM Is Out
- by Scott Whigham on March 18, 2009 8:31 AMFirst, let's get the acronyms out of the way: "RTM" stands for "Release To Manufacturing" and it is the software as it was originally shipped (no service packs or hotfixes). "CU" is the "Cumulative Update" and this is many hotfixes rolled into a single installer (but not so many that a service pack was needed). For more explanation and detail, watch the video, Service Packs, Hotfixes, and More: Keeping Your SQL Server 2008 Up to Date from the LearnItFirst.com IT Training video library.
Here's the timeline so far for SQL Server 2008 release dates:
CU | Release Date | Link | Primary Build Number |
| CU4 | March 17, 2009 | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/963036/ | 10.0.1798.0 |
| CU3 | January 17, 2009 | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/960484 | 10.0.1787.0 |
| CU2 | November 19, 2008 | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958186/ | 10.0.1779.0 |
| CU1 | November 18, 2008 | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956717 | 10.0.1763.0 |
| RTM | August 6, 2008 | 10.0.1600.22 |
As you can see, this SQL Server 2008 release date history still has a long way to go. Once we reach Service Pack 1, the CUs will start over at 1!
And, in case you aren't sure which version you are running, here's a quick article you can go to and find out: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185

I'm really to be finally posting online after all these years. There really is no mystery about it, is there? I just dropped by your blog and had to write something. I'm a recent college grad, journalism major if you must know, and I absolutely love photography. I've got my site up but it's nothing to brag about yet. None of my stuff's been posted. Soon as I figure out how to do that, I'll spend the afternoon posting my best pictures. anyway just thought I'd drop a line. I hope to return with more substantial stuff, stuff you can actually use.

Wow!, this was a top quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I keep putting it off and never seem to get something done

More than just a Pre-Loved Home! What a brilliant start for a motivated first home owner as the extended government grant for first home buyers may cease soon. It could be a great start for the low income earner to own their first home in a location which is central between Berri ....

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
This is an extremely fantastic site you have going here. The matter is very informative and straight to the point. Excited to read more about your blog next time.
