This is a list of the builds for SQL Server 2016. There are other build lists available here.
A list of all the builds that I can find and install on my Build VM. If you find a build not listed here, please let the webmaster know (webmaster at sqlservercentral.com).
All builds are listed in reverse order, so the newest are at the top and the earliest at the bottom. You can find your build number with:
select @@Version
in a query window. This gives you the current version you are running and it should match up with one of the builds listed below.
Major Builds
| Build | KB Article | Title |
| 13.0.6300.2 | 5003279 | SQL Server 2016 SP3 |
| 13.0.5026 | 4052908 | SQL Server 2016 SP2 |
| 13.0.4001 | 3182545 | SQL Server 2016 SP1 |
| 13.0.1601.5 | RTM | SQL Server 2016 RTM |
Note that Service Packs include all builds below that Service Pack level. So any builds listed below Service Pack 1 are included in Service Pack 1. Those below Service Pack 2 (including Service Pack 1), are included in SP2, etc. Hotfixes may or may not include updates below them because there are two trees of code. The cumulative updates do include all hotfixes before them.
You can also download a CSV of the builds attached to this article.
Production Builds
These are the builds that have been released to the public for sale and are supported.
