Hi there, Could someone confirm if Ignition 7.8 will work with SQL Server 2019 database? According to [Database Connections - Ignition User Manual 7.8 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC/Database+Connections) Only “2005, 2008, full, and express editions. Ignition can connect to 2000, but has not been fully tested.” I also noticed that the JDBC driver required would be 7.4. Will this work with Ignition 7.8? > **[Support matrix - JDBC Driver for SQL Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server-support-matrix?view=sql-server-ver15#sql-version-compatibility)** > > This page contains the support matrix and support life-cycle policy for the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server. ---

Looks like it, as it is also compatible with the JRE needed. ---
