Can a SQL Server Feature Pack of a certain version (2012, 2016, etc.) be used with a lower version of SQL Server?


My company is in the process of upgrading the SQL Server CLR types that are being used with our software. After Googling around, I couldn't find a definitive yes/no answer to whether or not the SQL Server Feature Pack version can be greater than the version of SQL Server that's deployed.


Solution

  • The current release vehicle for that is NuGet, https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.SqlServer.Types. And this client-side package doesn't have any version dependency on the server-side version.
