Deprecations
The database driver for MS SQL Server has been upgraded to be compliant with new Microsoft data technologies (like Fabric). The driver drops official Microsoft support for SQL Server 2012 and earlier. However, anecdotal testing shows SQL Server 2012 still works with this driver. Customers should migrate off older versions of SQL Server to avoid issues.
