Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or SQL Server 2008 R2 fix release.

Symptoms

When you use a query to stop an Extended Events session or to alter its state in SQL Server 2008 or in SQL Server 2008 R2, the query stops responding (hangs), and the session cannot be cancelled by using a KILL statement.

Note The following queries stop or alter the Extended Events session:

  • DROP EVENT SESSION
