sql server requirement for Umbraco
# help-with-umbraco

Hello Umbraco community ! I'm trying to create a brand new project with visual studio, with the umbraco project template. I get an error 'cannot connect to the database'. I checked the error log and it says " database requires upgrade' The SQL server is the 2016 developer version, is upgrading the SQL server required to install umbraco? Which version does it support? Like minimal SQL server 2019? Thank you!

"Database" likely refers to the database, not the server. And "upgrade" likely refers to "migration". Sure you're not accidentally reusing an old database?

I mean Microsoft SQL server which is the database. Umbraco website listed as using SQL server 2019, not sure if there's way to make it work with SQL server 2016? @kdx-perbol
I found a way out myself. Install Umbraco on SQL 2022, then downgrade the database to SQL 2016. Anyone has idea if this gonna be a problem later on please let me know
