That is not true. In fact, it's discouraged unless there is a critical security vulnerability or unless you are encountering one of the bugs fixed in a hotfix.This is especially not true of 2005+.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog
Fair enough, I wasn't/am not aware of the security issues you speak of, though differing environments do seem to have radically divergent approaches to the timing of pack application. |
