Can I upgrade the database SQL Server at the 2017 edition without lost the data

[Consulente Atlassian]

I've upgraded the confluence two week ago. At moment confluence version 7.13.7 use the "2016" edition of sql server. Can I upgrade the database SQL Server at the 2017 edition without lost the data? Or what is the right procedure to upgrade the database in confluence without upgrade / reinstall again the confluence.

Hi @Consulente Atlassian , 

as you can see in the Supported Platforms page for the 7.13 release, Confluence does support SQL Server 2017.

This means that you can safely upgrade your database, it will not break Confluence. You should of course backup your data before just in case.

Let me know if this helps,
