With a terrible punctuality, Microsoft has released today at 18.00 the attended Microsoft SQL Server Service Pack 4.
It contains all the previous Service Pack releases plus:
- Includes a new version of MSXML version 3.0 SP6. With SP4, the OPENXML statement is updated to use a custom-built XML parsing technology designed to be backward compatible with MSXML 2.6.
- Includes MDAC 2.8 SP1 except for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 platforms, where it is included with the operating system service packs for those platforms.
- Support for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition (allowing 32-bit SQL Server 2000 applications to run on 64-bit platforms)
