On June 20, 2016, Microsoft released SQL Server 2014 Service Pack 1 CU7<\/a>, which is Build 12.0.4459. This cumulative update has 35 fixes in the public hot fix list. Quite a few of these fixes seem to be pretty significant.<\/p>\n They also released SQL Server 2014 RTM CU14<\/a>, which is Build 12.0.2569. This cumulative update has 21 fixes in public hot fix list. This is the last CU for the RTM branch.<\/p>\n SQL Server 2014 Service Pack 2 is due to be released in July of 2016<\/a>, so depending on how old of a build of SQL Server 2014 you are on, you might just want to wait for SP2. Otherwise, I think you should try to stay on a current CU, in a proactive fashion.
