    What version of SQL Server are you using?. You can get that by running

    select @@version

    Download the SP4 for the version that you have.

    If you see (Intel X86) in result of 'select @@version', you have 32-bit sql2k. By the way, 64-bit sql2k works on Itanium machine only.

    Just curious if 'select @@version' statement actually shows us the SQL server version; because last time when I ran this command it showed me the windows version.

    Thanks

    In fact, it gives you both sql and os version.
