Does SharePoint Workflow Manager support SQL 2016?

Bill Baer, jcgonzalezmartin: SP2016 uses the same workflow Manager as SP2013 which supported SQL 2012. Does the workflow Manager support the newly released 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

Thanks. When will this appear in TN documentation? This is slightly different than the response than other private communities have received.

Working on getting the official documentation updated...
A support case was open and the PG engaged which confirmed SharePoint 2016 with WFM only officially supports SQL 2014 and not SQL 2016. WFM stand-alone does not support SQL 2014 and SQL 2016 - supports only SQL 2012 and SQL 2008R2.
