Sql 2008 R2 Sp1 & (Management Studio) ?

  • I downloaded sql server 2008 r2 sp1 from:

    http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26727

    On the same SP download page we also find

    SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe

    Doesn't the first sp (for sql) include the second one (for Management Studio)? I had never see a SP just for Management Studio

    TIA,

  • Generally, but I have seen service packs split, do you mean you're downloading service pack 1 ? in which case you shouldn't need a seperate ssms patch but there may be one for just patching the tools if that's all you use.

  • Thanks for the insight in SP's and "special" feature parts thereof.

  • no worries - it can be tricky sometimes, I seem to remember one sp which had so many file options and it took me three tries to get the right one.
