SQL SERVER – A List of Various SQL Server RTM and Service Pack Number

 

January 18, 2013 by pinaldave

A common question I receive is that how do user know which version user is using and what is the latest version available for the product. Here is something at this beginning of the year, check with your production server. See if you are using the latest version of the product or if you need to upgrade. If you need to upgrade you might want to plan it with your entire team. As I get this question often here is something I have already built and kept it with me. As soon as I receive an email with the question about the version, I right away send it to them.

Now onwards as I have blogged about this subject, in future question, I will like to this blog post. Please feel free to add more details if I have missed any.

Here are two of the methods, you can use to identify your SQL Server version:

Open SSMS and in a New Query Window run following T-SQL code.

1) SELECT@@version

2) SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

The above query will return the version details of installed SQL Server.

Here is the list of the all the available RTM and Service Pack Numbers.
