We are using Ignition 8.1.15. We will migrate our SQL database server from 2012 to 2019. Does our current jdbc drivers works with SQL server 2019. If not which version of the jdbc drivers and translator will be required to communicate with 2019 server. How to upgrade that drivers and translators? Can somebody help us in this ? ---
