Do I need to do something if I get the "Azure SQL Database 2014-04-01 APIs will be retired on 31 October 2025" email?

Question

Hi

Getting the "Azure SQL Database 2014-04-01 APIs will be retired on 31 October 2025" email asking me to upgrade the API-s.

We are hosting for our customer a shared "SQL Server" in our Azure with 4 databases.

When I am running the version query that shows:

"Microsoft SQL Azure (RTM) - 12.0.2000.8 Oct 2 2024 11:51:41 Copyright (C) 2022 Microsoft Corporation"

I am accessing the databases from code with Entity Framework.

Do I need to do anything and if yes, which are the steps?

Regards

Botond

The 2014-04-01 API is for Azure SQL Database management (e.g., creating/deleting databases, configuring security). It does not affect T-SQL queries or EF Core operations. If your app uses Azure Resource Manager (ARM) APIs for database management, you have to upgrade to a new API. Otherwise, you should not have an action item.
