This page describes Cloud SQL's database version support policies.
Database versions supported by Cloud SQLThe database engines supported by Cloud SQL include multiple versions. The versions can vary in capabilities and in the types of issues that arise. While performing an upgrade can impact your users, providing up-to-date database features and important patches is also critical. Cloud SQL keeps your instances up-to-date with patches and minor version updates automatically.
Major and minor versions supported by Cloud SQLCloud SQL supports the following database versions.
The mainstream end date and the extended support end dates follow the Microsoft SQL Server support lifecycle. These dates are different than the Cloud SQL extended support dates that apply to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL and Cloud SQL for MySQL.
Major version Minor version Support start date Mainstream supportFor SQL Server, the year provides the major version number and the minor version is the supported Cumulative Update (CU). For example, for SQL Server 2022 Enterprise CU11, 2022 Enterprise is the major version number and CU11 is the minor version number.
How to identify the database version of your Cloud SQL instanceYou specify the database version when you create a Cloud SQL instance. If you don't specify a database version, then Cloud SQL uses the default database version.
To view the database version of a Cloud SQL instance, do the following:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud SQL Instances page.
To filter instances by a specific database version within your Cloud SQL project, do the following:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud SQL Instances page.
To view all Cloud SQL instances and their database versions in your organization, use Database Center. You can also switch views in Database Center from project to folders or organizations to get a complete list of all your Cloud SQL instances. For more information, see Filter resources and export fleet inventory information.
Minor version supportCloud SQL supports new minor versions within three months of their general availability release by the database engine developer community. After Cloud SQL supports a new minor version, Cloud SQL provisions new instances on the new version automatically. During the next scheduled maintenance rollout, Cloud SQL upgrades existing instances to the new version.
Cloud SQL determines the target minor version for each database engine. When the target minor version is different from the minor version for a Cloud SQL instance, Cloud SQL upgrades that version during the next maintenance cycle. You can control the day and time when maintenance restarts occur by setting a maintenance window for your instance.
Note: Cloud SQL might not support each new minor version released by the database engine developer. For example, Cloud SQL might not support a minor version that's found not to work well with Cloud SQL.Except as otherwise noted, the content of this page is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License, and code samples are licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.
