Solution providers were recently pleased to hear that Microsoft is changing the way it provides them with updates about fixes and patches important to SQL Server customers.  

Starting on April 16, computer business Microsoft will launch its initial cumulative SQL Server update that will announce all database fixes and updates for the package at one time.  These updates for solution providers will be delivered every two months.  

According to Microsoft spokespeople, the company wanted to design updates every two months to add predictability for customers and solution providers, allowing them to choose their optimal production dates.  “Hot fixes” and patch delivery have been previously unpredictable and disorganized.  Microsoft hopes that this new system will help address urgent issues for solution providers in a more timely fashion and help them plan more efficiently.
