DUMB question about versions.. please be kind

  • SQL Server 2000 Version 8.00.194 (RTM) I'm assuming this is pre-service Pack 1 - what does the RTM indicate or stand for???

  • RTM stands for "Release To Manufacturing".  You're right, it's the initial release of the product before any service packs have been released.

  • Thanks much!!

  • I had always heard "release to manufacturing" also.  But I thought that doesn't really make sense.  Release to marketing makes more sense.  So, I decided to go do a search on Microsoft.com .  I found a couple of references to "released-to-market (rtm)".  AHA!!! I thought.  Then in the very next link on the Microsoft Search Results, was a reference to "released-to-manufacturing (rtm)" .  So, I guess even Microsoft doesn't know for sure what "rtm" really stands for!!!
