Compatibility levels in SQL 2014

  • We will be doing our "first" SQL 2014 install on a server that will be handling up to 8 different databases. These are not large dbs (<15 GB) and the biggest problem I am mulling over is the fact that some of the vendors/manufacturers involved are insisting that "their" product is not compatible with SQL 2014. One currently is on a SQL 2005 server, so I'm curious if 2014 has a setting of 90 for compatibility?

    Also, at least two other databases are at either SQL 2008 or SQL 2012 and I'm not certain if I can have four or more databases running under SQL 2014 with these different compatibility settings. Once I get the software CD I can run the Upgrade Advisor to see if any of these older databases "can" be upgraded, but in a pinch, I am hoping that I can run several different compatibility levels on one SQL 2014 server.

    Thanks for the feedback. J.Nelson

  • Compatibility level 90 is not supported in SQL Server 2014. Compatibility levels 100 and up are, however.
