How do I know if I need SQL SP3 or 3A?

My verions of SQL is 8.00194 (RTM) Does this mean I am current. How would I
go about finding our if I need a service pack installed or not?

MandyHYou're not current. I personally would install the latest service pack
(SP3A).
Your SQL Server is currently open to security risks which, along with
patches, the service pack addresses.

You'll find more details in Books Online...
this will tell you what service pack you have. RTM means released to
manufacturing and means it's the initial release of SQL 2000 with no service
packs. You are currently exposed to a LARGE number of security and other
problems.
