From: iNewbie on 5 May 2010 08:33 Hi, i'm a bit confused. I just installed sql 2008 r2 (build 1600) and i need to install the SP1 but my doubt is, what is sql 2008 R2? is it sql 2008 + Service Pack 1? what update does it include with the "r2"? do i have to install sp1 or it's already included? thanks!!
From: Andrew J. Kelly on 5 May 2010 08:52 R2 is like a whole new version of 2008. Actually a half version :). It was just released so all there is to load is the RTM version. There are no service packs for it yet. -- Andrew J.

From: iNewbie on 5 May 2010 09:59 no service packs yet? is it better that the rtm with sp1? do i have to install the rtm on top of it? sorry if my question seems a little stupid but i cannot get to understand what it is compared to sql 2008 rtm + sp1. thanks!

If you have SQL Express R2 the version number will be 10.50.1600.1 If you have SQL Server 2008 RTM the version number will be 10.00.1600.22 SQL Server 2008 + SP1 should be version 10.00.2531.00 John

SQL Server 2008 R2 is a completely new version and includes features not in SQL Server 2008 RTM (+SPn). See the Books Online for details. As such, it makes no sense to install an older version on top of it. Personally, I don't see a reason not to go with R2 for a new install rather than arbitrarily wait for the first service pack. I blogged my thoughts on the subject regarding SQL 2008 and the same applies to subsequent releases: <Quote href="http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/dang/archive/2009/04/19/Not-Before-Service-Pack-1.aspx"> I think a better approach is to adopt new releases based on quality as determined in one's own environment. Whether the target is a new SQL Server installation or an upgrade of an existing instance, one still needs to perform testing before installing any new version, service pack or patch in production. It is those test results that should determine production readiness, not the results of SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel'). </Quote> -- Hope this helps.
