Jooq是否支持Sql Server 2014和2017？

Question

I am developing my application in Sql Server 2014 and will upgrade to Sql Server 2017 when it is released. According, to Jooq they support up to Sql Server 2012. Can I still use Jooq with 2017? Will there be any features I am missing since the highest version Jooq supports is 2012?

Answer 1

jOOQ supports "SQL Server 2008 and later" . All popular SQL databases are very backwards compatible, so jOOQ officially supports all new versions of a specific database.

SQL dialect configurations

This is not to be confused with the available SQLDialect versions, which (as of jOOQ 3.9) list:

• SQLSERVER - The dialect family, which corresponds to the latest currently available dialect configuration (2014 in jOOQ 3.9)
• SQLSERVER2008
• SQLSERVER2012
• SQLSERVER2014

jOOQ 3.10 will also add a dialect configuration for:

• SQLSERVER2016

jOOQ 3.11 will add a configuration for:

• SQLSERVER2017

Even if SQL Server 2017 cannot be configured in jOOQ 3.9, yet, this doesn't mean it won't be supported. You can choose any of the above SQL dialect configurations. They will all work on SQL Server 2017.

The main reasons for adding new dialect version configurations like the above are:

• To document that a specific function is only available from that version onwards (eg STRING_AGG will be supported in SQL Server 2017)
• To switch to newer SQL constructs (eg OFFSET .. FETCH was supported natively in SQL Server 2012, jOOQ emulates it using ROW_NUMBER() in SQL Server 2008)
