    I have never had a problem upgrading a SQL server. Granted, we aren’t talking about anything fancy like database sharding, but the janky applications I work with have never complained.

      Apparently, it is not only my oberservation, but the article says similarly:

      The inconsistent approach to backward compatibility in decades past may also have played a part.

      However, I’m not a db admin and my perspective might be biased (infosec).
