SQL Server Versions - 2012 vs 2014 [closed]

Tag: sql-server,oracle,sql-server-2008,sql-server-2008-r2,sql-server-2012

My team needs to get SQL Server as our backend database. I would like to find out if we should get 2014 or 2012 R2. The rest of the company is probably still SQL Server 2008 R2, Oracle and probably MySQL. I wonder if we get 2014 version which is 2 generations ahead of the 2008 version, would that cause any problem? We will mostly get data from the other databases from other departments of the company.

Another question about version 2012 is that I was told that I should purchase 2014 but download 2012. I would like to find out if the serial number for 2014 can be applied to 2012. I am not sure why I need to purchase 2014 but download 2012 instead.

Please advise! Thank you!

I wonder if we get 2014 version which is 2 generations ahead of the 2008 version, would that cause any problem?

Jumping those two version won't cause any problems.

I would like to find out if the serial number for 2014 can be applied to 2012.

You should check with the MS or your VAR for that sort of licensing question.

I am not sure why I need to purchase 2014 but download 2012 instead.

You don't. My best guess for that advice is to own a license to the latest even if you decide you want to run 2012. Which you don't--2014 is better and stable.

Note: 2016 is in CTP2.
