This page describes Cloud SQL's database version support policies.
Database versions supported by Cloud SQL
The 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 SQL
Cloud SQL supports the following database versions.
The mainstream end date and the extended support end dates follow the MicrosoftSQL 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.
For 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 Enterpriseis the major version number
andCU11is the minor version number.
How to identify the database version of your Cloud SQL instance
You 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 theCloud SQL Instancespage.
In theFilterfield, selectType. The database versions that are
within your project are listed.
To filter the instances, select a database version within your project.
To view all Cloud SQL instances and their database versions in your organization,
useDatabase 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, seeFilter resources and export fleet inventory information.
Minor version support
Cloud 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 bysetting a maintenance windowfor your instance.
