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

MicrosoftWFM 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. Refer to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193487(v=azure.10).aspx.
Hope this helps!

Hello our customers are in panic since SQL 2014 SP1 support is ending now and they cant deploy a higher version of SQL for Workflow Manager. Is another CU coming soon with SQL 2016 support?
Thanks

- While we hoped CU4 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4019220/description-of-the-cumulative-update-4-for-workflow-manager-1-0) would bring SQL 2016 support, it's not in the notes. That said, SQL 2014 is a fully supported platform and your customers should just upgrade it to SP2 + post update security fixes/cumulative updates.
