Greetings,<br />
<br />
I'm installing a server to hold SQL SERVER and ESRI's ARCGIS.<br />
<br />
the compatibility page here says SQL SERVER 2016<br />
<br />
Since 2016 is not being sold, will 2017 work? or is there compatibility issues? &nbsp;I assume my GIS person is going to try to use as many services ARCGIS provides: Server, Scene, ArcInfo, etc....<br />
<br />
Thanks.
