64bit patch question

I know 64bit SQL Server has sp3a rolled into the install and I know that
there is a 64bit MS03-031 patch.
Do the rest of the patches (pss and otherwise) work for 64bit or is MS03-031
the last and only one beyond the install?
Thanks in advance

Hi
There are quite a few fixes for 64-bit after MS03-31
If you search Microsoft.com for "kbfix kbbug sql 64-bit", you will get quite
a few hits.
Unless you are encountering one of the problems, it is best to wait for SP4
which is currently in beta (and if you have a test environment, you can beta
test it (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluat...ominations.asp).

|||Hi
In KB, it gives the 32 bit and/or 64 bit binary versions that are included
in the hotfix. If 64 bit is not specified, it does not apply to it.
In the SP4 beta documentation, there is a list of fixes that are rolling
with SP4. On that list you can also see what are 64bit Fixes.
Most of the time. the downloadable file from MS does not specify 32 or 64
bit, except when you look up the KB article that is in the file name.
