Yesterday, microsoft released Service Pack 2 for SQL Sever 2012. They made Slipstream Installation packages available as well to the customers 🙂

And hey, you know what….CU1 for SQL Server 2012 SP2 is scheduled to release in July 2014. It’s time to upgrade all your SQL Server 2012 Instances to SP2!

SP2 can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43340

For the list of bugs which are fixed in this Sevice pack, visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2958429

Couple of very critical bugs which got fixed: ( they are critical to me, YMMV) 

SQL Server crashes when LDF file for Tempdb is full.
Rollback causes SQL Server Database to go to Suspect mode.
No error message when Log backup fails in SQL Server 2012.

Cheers!
