Hi,
Currently my sql server 2005 version is as follows.
productversion => 9.00.3042.00
product level => SP2
edition => Standard.

Now Iam planning to upgrade to SQL Server 2003 latest server pack SP3.

Can I forsee any problems in installation. as I read from many sites that this upgradation is a bit difficult. and in case of failure entire sql server 2005 need to be re-installed.

Could anybody please advice the problems they faced and how to overcome them.

Thanks very much in advance

FWIW we install Service Packs on DEV server, restore backup from the Live server/database, update the service pack, and perform regression tests.

Then nothing can go wrong when we roll out to the Live/Production server, right?!!
