Supported editions and versions
Versions
Microsoft periodically releases new versions of SQL Server. Each new version builds on the previous ones, incorporating new technologies, addressing customer feedback, and adapting to industry trends. To choose the right version, consider factors such as feature requirements, compatibility with existing systems, and support lifecycle.
The following versions of SQL Server are currently supported:
- SQL Server 2022: The latest version of SQL Server introduced several new features and enhancements. These include batch mode processing for rowstore indexes; improved query performance; improvements to intelligent query processing features such as batch mode adaptive join and inclusion of scalar UDFs; and the execution of cryptographic operations within secure enclaves for improved data security.
- SQL Server 2019: This release delivered improvements in performance, security, and availability. New features included intelligent query processing, accelerated database recovery, and big data clusters.
- SQL Server 2017: This release introduced support for Linux and Docker containers, as well as new features such as adaptive query processing and auto-tuning.
- SQL Server 2016: This release introduced features such as Always Encrypted, query store, and stretch database, along with improvements to in-memory OLTP and Analysis Services.
- SQL Server 2014: This release introduced in-memory OLTP, buffer pool extensions, and improvements to Always On Availability Groups, as well as improvements to query performance and scalability.
Editions
Each version of SQL Server has several editions, each with its own set of features, limitations, and licensing considerations. Available editions are listed below:
- Express Edition: This free entry-level edition is designed for small-scale applications and development and learning purposes. It has limitations on database size, memory usage, and CPU sockets.
- Standard Edition: This edition is suitable for small to medium-sized databases; it provides basic database functionality along with basic business intelligence and reporting capabilities.
- Enterprise Edition: It is the most complete edition of SQL Server, designed for large-scale mission-critical applications that require high availability, performance, and scalability. It includes advanced features such as advanced security, data warehousing, and advanced analytics.
- Developer Edition: Similar to the Enterprise Edition in terms of features, but licensed for development and test environments only. Provides full functionality without production usage rights.
- Web Edition: Optimized for web applications, this edition provides a low-cost option for web hosting providers and independent software vendors (ISVs) to host applications and websites that require a database.
- Business Intelligence Edition: Designed for organizations that require comprehensive business intelligence capabilities, it includes features such as advanced analytics, reporting, and data integration.
- Enterprise Core Edition: Similar to the Enterprise Edition, but licensed by core count rather than servers/CALs. Ideal for high-density virtualization and large deployments on multi-core servers.
