Updated to include SP1 CU16<\/u><\/strong>: There have already been sixteen Cumulative Updates (CU) for the Service Pack 1 branch of SQL Server 2012. There have been a fairly high number of hotfixes in nearly every one of these Cumulative Updates, as more people are using SQL Server 2012 over the past two years. SQL Server 2012 SP1 has all of the fixes through SQL Server 2012 RTM CU2. If you are running SQL Server 2012, I really think<\/u><\/strong> you should be running the latest SQL Server 2012 Service Pack and Cumulative Update. Right now, that means Service Pack 2, CU6 (Build 11.0.5592), which was released on May 18, 2015. <\/p>\n If you are still on the SQL Server 2012 SP1 branch, then you want to be on SP1 CU16. <\/p>\n Table 1 shows the SP1 CU builds that have been released so far.<\/p>\n
