Upgrading Client Software

  • We are using two apps servers that have the client SQL software on them. They are connecting to a central DB but there have been inconsistencies between the two. Our VAR has asked us to update the 'client software'. Both machines are running SQL7 with SP3 but when I go into the QA and have a look at help-about both seem to differ in versions one being 7.00.623 the other being 7.00.619. I am sure that these two versions will not impede performance but I would like to get these two versions matching. Can anyone help, please?

  • Looks like the client tools were not updated. Try reinstalling SP3 and check the version afterwards. Should change, then try the same on the other machine.

  • How can I tell if we have all the latest service packs on our server?

  • This list which cam efrom http://www.sql-server-performance.com is the mot complete but some beta numbers and possible hotfixes are missing but for the most part is accurate. Also run SELECT @@VERSION to get the server version.
