Flyway community - database support

TiagoArnaldo

Hello,

I'm doing some tests on an existing application with the flyway community 6.0.6 and SQLServer 2019.

I read about the database compatibility on this page https://documentation.red-gate.com/fd/supported-database-versions-143754067.html but I'm confused.

For the Flyway community, the SQLServer19 support will end in 2024.
But does it mean that the flyway will stop working, and not run new migrations? or it's more about documentation and answers?

It affects if we will add the flyway community in our app on prod.

Thanks!

Hello Tiago,

I am really interested to know why you are using version 6.0.6 of Flyway and not the latest version? Is there something specific in version 6.0.6 that is not available or a reason why upgrading flyway would be difficult for you?  We wouldn't recommend using an old version of the software as we are continuously adding additional features, bug fixes and security patches to the latest version of the software which make it more secure. 

Thanks

Adam

Hi Adam,
My application uses SpringBoot 2.2.0, and when I tried to run a newer Flyway version it didn't work. 
I'm working on a spike task and doing some local tests using flyway.

I'm wondering why you wouldn't use SSDT and DacPacs if you're on SQL Server.

In relatively recent times I've successfully got flyway working on version 2.2.4 & 2.6.3 of SpringBoot.

As and when to have the time to update, should you have issues, please do let us know, would be happy to help.
