Microsoft SQL Server 2005 hotfixes are created for specific SQL Server service packs. You must apply a SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 hotfix to an installation of SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2. By default, any hotfix that is provided in a SQL Server service pack is included in the next SQL Server service pack.
Cumulative Update 5 contains hotfixes for SQL Server 2005 issues that have been fixed since the release of Service Pack 2.
Latest Build 3215.

Thanks for the tip
They said some microsoft professional will contact me in 8 hours time.
Can they just put it up for us to download?
It seems any update that isn’t an official service pack has go go through their request system for some reason.
I’ve heard that no SP3 will be released for SQL2005 and that’s unfortunate. I don’t like forced upgrading to 2008 in this manner.
