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

Installing it successfully and supported are two different things. As of right now, it isn't supported as it isn't in the CU4 rel notes.

Trevor Seward. Please clarify what do we mean by supported here? I am able to create SP 2013 workflow and the workflow is running perfect. I have not created a single workflow but many.

    What Trevor Seward probably means is that if you have a problem and call microsoft for help they may say "sorry " we won't help you because we don't support that configuration
