SQL SP1 , SP2 , CTP3, CTP4

  • All,

    I have to download trail version (express version) in my laptop.

    OS : Windows 7

    I have downloaded SQL.EXE. wHEN I try to install sql.exe, it prompted to install SP1.

    When I search on Google , I can see SP1 with CTP4 , CTP3.

    To work on SQL 2012, SSIS 2012, SSAS 2012, SSRS 2012 which SP needs to be installed in my laptop.

    CTP stands for ?

    CTP3 , CTP 4 ...confusing really...

  • CTP - Community technology preview. A pre-release version of SQL 2012 for testing. You don't want those, they're not full versions and they've all likely expired at this point.

    If you need SP1, then get plain SP1 for SQL 2012.
