Understanding Cumulative Updates (CUs) and General Distribution Releases (GDRs)¶
Cumulative Updates (CUs) are regular service releases that contain all hotfixes and security fixes from previous CUs, along with new bug fixes, improvements, and sometimes even new features specific to SQL Server. Applying CUs is a proactive measure to keep your SQL Server environment robust and current with the latest enhancements. They are typically released on a predictable cadence, allowing organizations to plan their maintenance windows effectively.
General Distribution Releases (GDRs), also known as security updates, are less frequent releases that focus primarily on addressing critical security vulnerabilities. Unlike CUs, GDRs do not include functional improvements or general bug fixes unless they are directly related to a security issue. They are designed to provide essential security patches with minimal changes to the database engine. In some cases, a GDR might be released after a CU, encompassing the security fixes from the CU as well as any new critical security patches.
It’s vital for administrators to understand the distinction between CUs and GDRs to make informed decisions about their update strategy. While CUs offer comprehensive updates, GDRs are specifically for crucial security fixes. Organizations often aim to apply CUs regularly for overall health, while GDRs are prioritized when security alerts are issued.

GA (November 2022)¶
The General Availability (GA) release of SQL Server 2022 (16.x) for Linux occurred in November 2022. This marked the official public release of this version, with the SQL Server Database Engine version set at 16.0.1000.6. This foundational release provided the core functionalities and features of SQL Server 2022 optimized for various Linux distributions. It laid the groundwork for subsequent cumulative updates and security patches.
Overview of SQL Server on Linux Installation¶
Installing SQL Server 2022 on Linux generally involves a few key steps: first, configuring the Microsoft SQL Server repository for your specific Linux distribution, then installing the mssql-server package, and finally running the mssql-conf setup utility. This process ensures that all necessary dependencies are met and the SQL Server instance is properly configured for your environment. Additional components like Full-Text Search, SQL Server Agent, and Integration Services can be installed as separate packages to extend functionality.
The update process for SQL Server on Linux typically follows a structured approach to ensure minimal disruption and maximum data integrity. This involves preparing your environment, applying the updates, and then verifying the successful installation. The following diagram illustrates a general flowchart for applying updates:
mermaid
graph TD
A[Identify Latest Update: CU or GDR] --> B{Review Release Notes & KB Articles};
B --> C{Perform Full Backup of Databases & Configuration};
C --> D[Stop SQL Server Service: sudo systemctl stop mssql-server];
D --> E[Apply Update Package: e.g., sudo apt update && sudo apt install mssql-server];
E --> F[Start SQL Server Service: sudo systemctl start mssql-server];
F --> G[Verify Installation & Functionality: Check version, run test queries];
G --> H[Monitor Performance & Logs];
Always ensure a robust backup strategy is in place before initiating any update process.
Package Details for GA¶
The package details and download locations for the RPM and Debian packages of the GA release are listed in the following table. While direct downloads are provided, it is generally recommended to use the documented installation guides by configuring the Microsoft package repositories for your Linux distribution, as this simplifies the process of installing and updating SQL Server.

Why Staying Updated Matters¶
Regularly applying updates to your SQL Server 2022 on Linux instances is not merely a recommendation; it’s a critical practice for optimal database management. Updates, whether they are comprehensive Cumulative Updates or targeted General Distribution Releases, provide a multitude of benefits. They ensure that your database systems remain secure against evolving cyber threats, performant by incorporating optimization fixes, and stable by resolving reported bugs and improving overall reliability.
Furthermore, keeping your SQL Server installations up-to-date allows you to leverage the latest features and enhancements.
