Howdy!! Microsoft has released Service Pack3 for SQL Server 2008. This contains CU 1 to 4 of SQL Server 2008 SP2 + few interesting fixes to issues which customers have repeated.

As per MSFT, Few Interesting Enhancements in this SP are:

  • Exact Number of rows sent in Data Flows will be logged in SSIS logs .
  • Increased and Reliable Setup experience/performance.
