Server 2016 and SQL Server 2017

  • Dear all,

    I just installed SQL Server 2016 and I thought this was the last version. Now I am seeing many posts speaking about SQL Server 2017.

    Did Microsoft released a SQL Server 2017 immediately after the SQL Server 2016?

    Thank you

  • no. They released it Oct 2 2017

  • Sorry, did not undertood your answer. There is really a SQL Server 2017 version now? If it is the case, its strange, why? normally microsoft releases versions from 3 to 3 years or something. I don't remember this being done ever before.

    Any constraint with SQL Server 2016 release?

  • Johan's answer was based on you saying they released 2017 immediately after 2016,

    2016 was release 1st June 16 and 2017 was released 2nd Oct 2017, so a good 16 months in between, so no not immediately after 2016.

    MS are moving up their release schedules, there was a change in the way they do things, so 2017 brings Linux OS support, they are also planning on releasing major versions more frequently, through their newer patching cycles.
