      Trying to find this info while on a call. Will SQL Server 2016 happily live on Server 2019? Have an app that won't let us update the database, but I'd prefer to keep at least the OS up to date.

      Yes. SQL really doesn't give a shit except for a few select versions where it needs specific capabilities of the OS like VSS.

        I am running SQL standard 2016 on server 2019 I do not know if its "supported" but it is working and so far no issues; granted very small DB may 400MB but its what the vendor wanted.

          That really makes things expensive. It would be nice to run it on Linux. I would find out if it can support SQL 2017.

            Good point, why waste a windows license?

            Actually you can: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup?view=sql-server-ver15

                      It actually doesn't. For a variety of reasons...

                      1. 2016 is available on Linux, too.
                      2. They get a 2016 license with their app, they don't get 2017 so they'd have to pay tons more for it.
                      3. Because of other Windows licensing needs, they have to have Windows Standard already and the VM for SQL Server is the "free" second VM (or fourth, in this case).
                      4. Because Windows is required for three of their workloads, we already have to have the Windows skill met, and this would be the only Linux workload in the environment.

                      Trust me, we tried to go Linux. But it just didn't work out.

                        Because we have nothing else to use it on.

                          Yeah, can't use that nor 2019 for this workload. 2016 and older only.

                              @dbeato thanks, that table was hard to locate while on a call.
