how to avoid restart after applying SQL patching

  • Hi All,

    I am going to apply SQL ServicePack 3 in our production Server . Is it possible to avoid restart ?

    Thanks ….

    Much appreciate on your feedback !

  • As part of the installation wizard, you will be given a list of processes that are running that will make a reboot necessary. You can stop those processes and re-run the check before continuing. Beware, though - I've been through this before and still had to restart. It's worse on SQL Server 2005, but I still wouldn't rule it out as a possibility on 2008.
