And hot on the heels of 2005 SP3 comes…

December 23, 2008 Leave a comment

Cumulative Rollup 1 which essentially comprises CUs’ 10 and 11 for SP2.

In the good old days would MS just release something akin to a SP3a? Ah well..

Service pack 3 is here, CU1 is here.

Sql Server 2005 SP3 released!

December 18, 2008 Leave a comment

Microsoft have finally released Sql Server 2005 SP3 – how long was that chaps? 1.2 eternities or 1.3? (I lost track after a few lifetimes).

Well, better late than never, least now I don’t need to grab the less supported CRs to get the latest round of fixes.

Management Studio folders

What MS giveth with one hand they unceremoniously forget to supply with the other; here I’m referring to being able to update the path of the folders used by Management Studio for storing projects etc.

Fortunately it’s an easy fix that, as usual, relies on the registry.

Fire up regedit (or your favorite registry hacker) and move yourself to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell

and update the folder paths there.

Still here!

Good lord, you know when you’re getting old when over a year zips past you and it feels like yesterday…

Things have gotten a wee broken here and there – lost my images for one and my Worldview has up and left me. Time to do some maintenance work and clean things up again and get everything all ship-shape & Bristol fashion.

In the meantime…
