We currently have an install of SQL 2008 R2 installed using a vendor application. The vendor recently had an upgrade to their application and we have experienced some very large increases in CPU utilization to the point that we have to restart the application and related applications.
We did not experience this prior to their application upgrade and they are telling us that we need to apply the latest SQL service pack. Prior to doing this, we would like to get some input prior to doing this and to get some feedback from experienced SQL administrators.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue and related it to not having the latest SP installed?
Thanks
