SP == Service Pack. I.E. a whole bunch of bugfixes & what not all
rolled into one neat package for installation.
They are free, and they're available from Microsoft's site. For
Win2k SP's, your best bet is just to use the Windows Update utility.
You can also download then from somewhere under
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/. The current Win2k SP is SP1.
For SQL Server 7.0, the current is SP3. That can be downloaded from
somewhere under http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/.
Service Pack releases from Microsoft are always cumulative, so it
doesn't matter if you've installed all the service packs in order.
If you skipped a couple , that's fine. Just installed the latest
service pack that's available at the time, and you'll be sure to have
all the latest patches.
For Win2k, you can find out what (if any) service pack you have
installed by right-clicking on My Computer & choosing Properties.
For SQL Server, it's a little more tricky. You need to execute
"SELECT @@VERSION" against any database. You'll get output something
like this:
Microsoft SQL Server 7.00 - 7.00.961 (Intel X86)
Oct 24 2000 18:39:12
Copyright (c) 1988-1998 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: )
The version number (7.00.961) reflects the service pack. To the best
of my knowledge, the .961 means service pack 3, but I could well be
wrong on that. If you look in Microsoft's Knowledge Base, there's an
article that lists what build numbers equate to the various service
packs.
Hope that's helpful...
Best regards,
Zac Bedell
