Latest SQL Server update comes with reliability issues




More specifically, the Cumulative Update 7 has been withdrawn due to severe issues and should not be installed by the administrators of a Microsoft SQL Server.


Given the circumstances, Microsoft declared:


If you had downloaded the CU7 package file before Sep-23 2020, it is advised to not install it. Instead, wait for an upcoming SQL Server 2019 CU announcement.


What can I do if I’ve installed the SQL Server 2019 CU7?


CU7 for SQL Server 2019


Cumulative Update Package 7 for SQL Server 2019 included in its package a wide range of fixes that were released after the original version of SQL Server 2019.


Administrators of a Microsoft SQL Server 2019 were finally able to fix the assertion exception that occurs when they query the DMV sys.dm_hadr_automatic_seeding.


Moreover, they could finally disable Change data capture when a column is encrypted by the Always Encrypted feature.


This was also meant to update the SQL Server and Analysis Services components to more stable and secure builds, so plenty of users downloaded the update.



However, there is this confirmed reliability issue with the database snapshot feature in SQL Server 2019 CU7. Since it is a critical one, the company’s decision is also drastic.


The update was removed from the Download Center, the Microsoft Update Catalog, as well as Linux repositories.
