I have a MS SQL Server 2000 database that a customer of ours has sent to us
for testing purposes. Is there any way to tell what service pack this
database is at? A stored procedure of some kind that I can run on it?
Thank you,

The database is not really at a service-pack level. That's a server-only
issue. There may be problems, though, if your server is at a lower
service-pack level than your customer's server. I don't recall whether
such problems may occur with sp_attach, or if they occur when you try
to restore a backup. But as long as you have SP3 on your server, you
should not have a problem using that database.

Thank you for your reply,
Here is some further information. We have SP3 installed on our server. One
of our customers sent us a database (not a backup) to use with our
application for debugging purposes. After attaching the database, and
running our software using this database, certain functionality/data is
missing. After re-applying SP3 while this database is attached, all is
well.
Please let me know if you come across anything.
Thanks,
Frank

Looks as if I was not completely right then.
Checking Books Online, I find that you try this:
select databasepropert yex('yourdb', 'Version')
The result is however an internal number, and I have not seen any mapping
to service packs. But you can always compare with the master database,
which presumably is in pace with the server.
