Trying to keep up with Version Numbers….
I can’t begin to tell you how many times I find myself seeing a version number for SQL Server and not knowing exactly what service pack or cumulative update the build belongs to without quite a bit of pain. I have to admit years ago (ok how about a decade ago) we just had to worry about service packs so I practically had these numbers memorized, but when we introduced the cumulative update model, there were too many build numbers to remember. If you happen to have an ERRORLOG file or can query the SQL Server Engine, you do have some information you can use to determine if a build is RTM or Service Pack.
