Does SharePoint Workflow Manager support SQL 2016?
Just an update on the support for Workflow Manager 1.0
SQL 2016 is not supported for WFM
SQL 2014 is supported but only for SharePoint based scenarios (SharePoint 2016 supports WFM 1.0 CU3 and SB1.1)
SQL 2012 is supported for all scenarios
There is no active development to support SQL2016
2016 is not listed on the supported platforms page at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193487(v=azure.10).aspx,
That page has not been updated in a long time, WF Manager is not getting much attention from anyone at MS.
Joe Davies do you know anyone that can review and update the Workflow Manager documenation?
- I reached out to Microsoft support. They told me that Workflow Manager doesn't support SQL 2016.
- Thanks for the official confirmation :-)

Note:
SQL Server 2014 with SP1 is now supported with workflow manager 1.0 farm topology only if all the servers in the workflow farm are patched with the CU2
