Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 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 fix release.
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You try to use Database Engine Tuning Advisor (DTA) to tune a table in Microsoft SQL Server 2008, in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 or in Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
-
On the Tuning Options tab, you select the Include filtered indexes check box.
-
You start the analysis.
In this scenario, an access violation occurs in SQL Server. Additionally, you might receive the following error message:
Tuning Process exited unexpectedly (DTAEngine)
Note When this issue occurs, a minidump file is generated in the SQL Server log folder.
