Hi All, We are using Flowable with MS SQL Server 2012 now, we planning to upgrade the MS SQL server to 2016. Is anybody using MS Sql Server 2016 now. Is there any challenges involved in it. ---

It doesn’t exactly answer your question, but we use Github Actions to test against SQL Server(among others). That currently tests against 2017. Actions are a bit flaky so there are some successes and some failures, but I think you’d be ok on 2016. I would, however, run it in a test environment before jumping straight to production. > **[flowable/flowable-engine](https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/runs/338012486)** > > A compact and highly efficient workflow and Business Process Management (BPM) platform for developers, system admins and business users. - flowable/flowable-engine ---
