How to get a list of SQL Server 2005 builds that were released after Service Pack 2 was released?
Since the release of SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2, Microsoft development team has released various builds that are classed as Cumulative Updates. Also we blogged on this site - CumulativeUpdate4 & http://sqlserver-qa.net/blogs/tools/archive/2007/10/16/keep-your-eyes-open-for-cumulative-update-4-for-sql-server-2005-service-pack-2.aspx for instance.
Say if you need to have list of those Cumulative Update build with their numbers to download for further testing on your application, rather than waiting for next Service Pack release for SQL Server. As of now Cumulative update package 5 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 is under development and will be availble for general download when it is ready.
