When Microsoft announced that they’d do a monthly release schedule for the first year of a SQL Server version, a lot of eyes rolled, saying there’s no way they’d be able to keep up. Guess what: they’re doing it!
Cumulative Update 6 is out, just less than a month after CU5, and it includes a LOT of fixes:
- Random access violations when you run a monitoring stored procedure
- Access violations with adaptive joins
- Automatic seeding failures
- Non-optimal plan choices for values outside of the statistics range
- Latch timeout on secondary, deadlock between read-only queries
- CDC not working
- Error when upgrading SSIS database
- Leakage of sensitive data with dynamic data masking
- Random masking did not mask BIGINT values correctly
- Assertion failure when sys.dm_db_log_space_usage is run for a snapshot
- Managed backups fail when database name has a trailing white space
- False error reported by Test-SqlAvailabilityGroup commandlet
- Parallel redo of a heap table on a secondary crashes with an access violation
Go read the fixes & download it. Enjoy!
