, and related SQL Server

packages. The following repositories are currently available:

2025 (17.x) repository.

2022 (16.x) repository.

2019 (15.x) Cumulative Update (CU) repository.

2017 (14.x) Cumulative Update (CU) repository.

The Cumulative Update (CU) repository contains packages for the base SQL Server release, and

any bug fixes or improvements since that release. Cumulative updates are specific to a release

version, such as SQL Server 2025 (17.x). They’re released on a regular cadence. General

distribution release (GDR) updates are released in the same CU repository.

Each release contains the full SQL Server package and all previous updates for that repository.
