Upgradation of sql

  • I want to upgrade SQL  2012 to SQL  2014  where the databases are configured in replication , what is the procedure to upgrade ?

  • Do not upgrade to 2014 if you can absolutely avoid it. The issue is that 2014 introduces a new cardinality estimation engine. However, it doesn't introduce any tools to deal with that. Those get added in 2016 (and refined in 2017 & 2019). I go into more detail here.

    I'll leave it to the real experts to talk about upgrading replication.

  • I would think that you have to upgrade the database first to SQL 2014 and then reconfigure the replication after the upgrade. It should be that hard to reconfigure the replication. You can script out the replication as well.

    Except, we're not going to 2014, right?
