Author AWE and the SP4...
Larry Smith

2005-09-30, 8:23 pm

When the SQL Server SP4 was released I was informed it had some issues with
AWE.

Is those issues are still exist? Is it safe to installs SP4? My SQL Server
installation left with default AWE settings (value of 0). Since AWE is not
enabled, applying SP4 should not be any issue in my case.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi

No problem for you. You do not have to apply the patch to bring you to
version 2040 from 2039

You are suggesting that I can live without SP4?
See the link below what Microsoft says.....
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techin...gsqlserver.mspx
This link prompted me to apply the SP4.
What is version 2039/2040? My SQL Server installation says 8.00.760
??
Thank you,
Larry

Hi

No. Apply SP4, but if you are not using AWE memory, you do not have to apply
the hotfix to SP4 to fix the AWE memory issue.

8.00.2039 = SP4

You currently have SP3 installed.

Thank you for the suggestion.
How did you derive the equation "8.00.2039 = SP4" ?
Thank you,
Larry
