Cumulative Update 5 for SQL Server 2016 SP1
26 October,2017 by Tom Collins
Keeping up with SQL Server patching can be time consuming - but worthwhile . There are different types of patching:
Service Packs - which generally is the minimum level for versioning
Cumulative Update - include bug fixes etc - but are more of a general catch up - and not necessarily part of the version timeline
Security Patch - Released as necessary.
I usually focus on Service Packs & Cumulative Updates. Cumulative Updates include Security Patches.
The latest Cumulative Update for SQL Server 2016 SP1 is available as number 5.
For detailed notes check https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4040714
In another post I'll write about automating the SQL Server patch updates for hundreds of servers. But a word of warning - I'd never attempt to update all in one go, roll them up in manageable batches
