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
According to this blog post https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/workflowteam/2017/07/25/workflow-manager-1-0-now-supported-on-windows-server-2016-with-cu4/ CU4 does support SQL Server 2016
Great find at least we now have official confirmation and customers can move their platforms forward. Some of my customers run SQL 2016 for SharePoint 2016 but had a dedicated SQL 2014, something they werent really happy about.
