Bug #: 50002016 (SQL Hotfix)



Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.



SYMPTOMS

Microsoft recommends that you consider applying the most recent fix release that contains this hotfix.

By default, any hotfix that is provided in a SQL Server service pack is included in the next SQL Server service pack.
