INTRODUCTION
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 hotfixes are created for specific SQL Server service packs. You must apply a SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (SP2) hotfix to an installation of SQL Server 2005 SP2. By default, any hotfix that is provided in a SQL Server service pack is included in the next SQL Server service pack.

The cumulative update package 2 for SQL Server 2005 SP2 contains the SQL Server 2005 hotfixes that have been released since the release of SQL Server 2005 SP2 occurred.

Note This cumulative update package is also known as build 3175.

Important notes about the cumulative update package

 * SQL Server 2005 hotfixes are now multilanguage. There is only one cumulative update package for all languages.
 * One cumulative update package includes all the component packages. The cumulative update package updates only those components that are installed on the system.
 * You must enable the SQL Server Management Object (SMO) extended stored procedures and the SQL Server Distributed Management Object (SQL-DMO) extended stored procedures before you install the cumulative update package. For more information about the SMO and DMO XPs option, see the SQL Server 2005 Books Online.

Note SQL Server 2005 Books Online notes that the default setting of these stored procedures is 0 (off). However, this value is incorrect. By default, the setting is 1 (on).
