    Any word when MSDN will offer downloads for SQL Server 2012SP2? I mean an installation package with SP2 already included. Currently, only SP1 if available.

    @Nathan - thanks, missed the note regarding CU10. Presumably KB2969896 will be included in the July CU as well.

    Hi, when click on Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 SP2 Express > www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx i can 'see' only Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Express! Only the Versionnumber 11.0.5058.0 and the publishing date will tell this is SP2 for Express! This is only at Express! Can you fix this? Thanks.

    Any word on when this bug connect.microsoft.com/.../ssis-fails-with-unexpected-termination-when-using-derived-column-to-cast-dt-ntext-to-dt-text-1252 "SSIS fails with Unexpected termination when using derived column to cast DT_NTEXT to (DT_TEXT,1252)" will be fixed?  This occurs after upgrading to SP2 and has caused at least one of my ssis package to fail consistently and I am waiting for a fix or a documented work around

    Why do SP2?  Why not just CU10 from SP1?  Doesn't that have more recent bug fixes?  Is SP2 the equivalent of SQL Server with CU9 or does SP2 add something additional? thanks

    Am I the only one who cannot download these SQL ISOs with SP2 from MSDN anymore?  I had access and started downloading in the morning, but tonight the files are missing (yet SP1 copies are available for download).  Any guesses on what happened or if they were pulled?

    We are also experiencing a "SSIS fails with Unexpected termination" error since installing SP2. It appears to be happening during a conversion from DT_WSTR to DT_NTEXT as part of an XML import.

    Question:  you wrote "Customers are highly encouraged to stay on a supported service pack to ensure they are on the latest and most secure version of SQL Server 2012."  Does this mean that only the latest SP is supported?
