I suppose the mainstream support for SP3 is ending by April 2011, if this is the case if we upgrade to SP4 we might get the mainstream support until next year. This is my assumption. Please confirm. We wanted to retain the mainstream support for the service pack we install until next year, should that be SP3 or SP4 ? This is because we plan to upgrade to SQL 2008 by next year only. As we are using lot of Microsoft Products which uses SQL Server as backend (SCOM, SCCM), the dependency confirmation from Microsoft is also required for doing the upgrade. More over SP4 is in RTM, is this something that I should wait for the RC to be live in order for all my SQL Servers to be upgraded. Please answer. Thanks,Anonymous

@Desmond: CU12 for SP3 was released after they locked down the SP4 code for final testing before that service pack was released. This situation always tends to happen with service packs since the code base for SQL Server does not stay static very long. @Wilfred: SP4 + CU1 does equal SP3 + CU12 as regard to bug fixes etc. but you get additional functionality from SP4, and eventually the CUs for SP3 will stop. @Ganesh: SQL 2005 mainstream support ends 12th April 2011 regardless of service pack - extended support goes until 12/04/2016.Anonymous

We're currently on SP3 CU8. What is the recommended path for updating to the most current?Anonymous

@help: Microsoft would probably recommend testing and installing SP4, since it receives more testing internally than other cumulative updates. If you installed SP4 you would not lose any of the fixes already present on your SP3 CU08 instance(s).Anonymous
