Service Pack for SQL 2008 R2 (SP 1) released
Saturday 16 July 2011 by Ian PettmanAfter some time (it has to be said), Microsoft have released SP1 for SQL2008 R2.
We should reinforce at this point that 2008 R2 is a paid upgrade for SQL2008 (apart from SQL Express which is free for all editions).
The service pack includes cumulative updates to CU6 (but not the currently released CU7 and 8).
