Can’t decide between cranberry sauce or mashed potatoes for your side dish? Consider Service Pack 3 for SQL Server 2012 instead, which brings these hot fixins:
- Update for dm_exec_query_stats to track memory grants – adds a whole new set of fields to the DMV!
- New query memory grant options available (min_grant_percent and max_grant_percent) – yes, new query hint options to specify RAM for a query!)
- Access violation occurs when you enable TDE
- Improved diagnostics for query plans with residual predicate pushdown
- Spatial performance improvements
- DBCC CHECKDB/CHECKTABLE performance improvements
- Stalled dispatcher system dump forces failover
- Improvements for AlwaysOn Lease Timeout
- Improved tempdb spill diagnostics in the plan and XE
These are pretty doggone big improvements to go out in a service pack. Check out the full list of fixes.

Thank you
Too bad that you could not also mention WHERE to download it!
Never mind…I just saw your link. Sorry for the criticism. It was unwarranted.
Hahaha, no worries.
