The sql server express 2012 database is compatible with visual studio community 2017

0

I have installed in my computer visual studio community 2017 and I want to do some tests integrating some softwares that I have been developing for some activities of the university where I study with a database sql server express 2012, because in my computer I can not install the most modern versions of sql server express (my computer does not have enough resources).

So I would like to know if sql server express 2012 is compatible with visual studio community 2017, that is, if I can connect the projects I develop in visual studio community 2017 with a database sql server express 2012.

If you develop with VS2017 you can access your SQ Server 2012 projects, but beware, you will have to migrate some things.

For example, the SSIS projects do not run, you will have to adapt them, that is, by default 2017 you will open the project to connect with 2016/2017, you will have to change the connections.

For example, I have VS2015 and on another VS2017 computer and I access SQL Server 2000, 2003, 2008 and now 2016, but I have had to adapt the SSIS packages developed. According to requirements, other programs have worked correctly and some web, I had to modify the connection in web.config and ready.

If you have the VS2017 installed, try it. You do not lose anything.
