Applying SP3

Hi

I am basically a sybase guy but unfortunately I need to patch a SQL server with SP3. This is the first time I will be doing that. So I am not sure that after applying SP3, if I would need to rebuild all databases again.

Could anybody tell me what and where is the impact when we install SP3..??

I would appreciate any kinda help.

WilsonMake a backup of any production database (including master and msdb) before you apply sp3 (just to be paranoid). Apply the service pack, reboot NT, and go merrily on your way. No rebuilding or other "care and feeding" needed unless something goes dreadfully wrong during the application of the service pack.

I thought that was part of the job...

Oh, and someone once told me...in response to

"Do you think everyones out to get you? Are you Paranoid?"

"You're only Paranoid if you're wrong"

So what's the downside?
