About this tag
SQL Server remains a core Microsoft database platform in 2026, with discussions covering security vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-32167 and CVE-2026-21262, licensing optimization via Flexera One and AWS EC2 passive node waivers, and tooling shifts from Azure Data Studio and SCOM to VS Code and Azure Monitor. Microsoft's cloud strategy repositions SQL Server as one engine in a broader Azure and AI estate, while partner credentials like Lancom's Azure Migration Specialization highlight audited migration practices. Administrators must stay current with patches, licensing rules, and evolving tooling to manage SQL Server effectively.
