It’s time for our quarterly update of our SQL ConstantCare® population report, showing how quickly (or slowly) folks adopt new versions of SQL Server. There were only slight 1-2% shifts, nothing big:
SQL Server 2025: 1% SQL Server 2022: 31%, up 2% from last quarter SQL Server 2019: 42%, down 1% SQL Server 2017: 9%, no change SQL Server 2016: 9%, down 1% SQL Server 2014 & prior: 6%, no change Azure SQL DB and Managed Instances: 2%, no change
SQL Server 2025’s 1% adoption rate might sound small, but it mirrors the adoption rate curves of 2019
