Abbreviation Description
CTP Community Technology Preview (beta release)
RC Release Candidate
CU Cumulative Update; Cumulative updates contain the bug fixes and enhancements–up to that point in time–that have been added since the previous Service Pack release and will be contained in the next service pack release. Installation of the Cumulative Update is similar to the installation of a Service Pack. Cumulative Updates are not fully regression tested.
* Since January 27, 2016: Microsoft recommends ongoing, proactive installation of SQL Server CUs as they become available. SQL Server CUs are certified to the same levels as Service Packs, and should be installed with the same level of confidence.
SP Service Pack; much larger collection of hotfixes that have been fully regression tested. In some cases delivers product enhancements. All SQLServer service packs are cumulative, meaning that each new service pack contains all the fixes that are included with previous service packs and any new fixes.

* Service Packs are discontinued starting from SQL Server 2017. Only Cumulative Updates (CUs) will be provided.
GDR General Distribution Release; GDR fixes should not contain any of the CU updates.
QFE Quick Fix Engineering; QFE updates include CU fixes.
CVE Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures; publicly known information-security vulnerabilities.
OD On-Demand hotfix. An OD is released per customer request for specific problem scenarios to that customer. OD hotfixes may or may not be released to the general public.
COD Critical On-Demand hotfix. A COD hotfix is defined as critical because security is impacted a severe stability or functionality is detected.
