oldest supported version of sql

byronmiddleton

Hi, I have some very old sql versions still (version locked app) and I get the error    The SQL Server instance returned an invalid or unsupported protocol version during login negotiation so I was just wondering which versions of sql the application supports

Hi @byronmiddleton, thank you for your post. For the requirements for SQL Data Catalog please see:
 
https://documentation.red-gate.com/sql-data-catalog/getting-started/requirements
 
The SQL Server backing database must be SQL Server 2012 or higher.

Hi Ben,  the server we put the app on is sql 2019   ... I was trying to audit 2008r2 which works fine and a very old sql 2000 server

Hi Byron,
 
The app will be fine on the SQL 2019 server.
 
If you are auditing the 2008r server then that should also be OK. That is the earliest version that is supported so I'm not sure SQL server 2000 will work though.
