SQL 2012: SERVERPROPERTY

  • Comments posted to this topic are about the item SQL 2012: SERVERPROPERTY

  • Quite an interesting question for practical use, thanks to GP Van Eron. 🙂

    I understand that if on SQL Server 2012 was the last installation

    Cumulative Update #14 for SQL Server 2012 SP2, the results of this code would be:

    SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('PRODUCTUPDATELEVEL') .... result CU14

    SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductUpdateReference') .... result KB3180914

  • Thank you for the feedback. If I wrote the question again I would focus a bit more on learning SERVERPROPERTY options rather than nuisances of patching levels. But also want to encourage users to keep up with CU releases. On top of break/fixes sometimes nifty new features are included.

    Thank You for Your post. You're right about the SERVERPROPERTY can be a lot to learn,

    I counted 44 of arguments, so it's actually as a little book about SQL Server...

    Best Regards.

  • Is it ironic that by running the SQL in SMSS I proved that I had a patched version that provided the "latest Cummulative Update (CU) installed" so chose that as my answer?

    Glad the server is patched but lost a point on QotD :crying:

    Thanks for the question.

  • Bah! If I had any control I'd give you an extra point for being a pro-active DBA

  • Very nice question, I had to examine all the instances i work on to check your answer is correct.

    Thanks
