This article helps you resolve the problem where you can't attach a CDC-enabled database to an instance of SQL Server 2016 or SQL Server 2017 on Windows.

Original product version:   SQL Server 2008 and the later versions
Original KB number:   3200464

Symptoms

You detach a database with Change Data Capture enabled on SQL Server 2014 or an earlier version, and you attach it to a SQL Server 2016 or SQL Server 2017 on Windows instance. In this situation, you encounter the following error when you run the sp_cdc_enable_table system procedure:

Command

EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_table @source_schema='<schema name>',
@source_name='<source name>', @role_name='<role name>',  
@supports_net_changes=1, @allow_partition_switch=0;

Error message

Msg 22832, Level 16, State 1, Procedure
sp_cdc_enable_table_internal, Line 639 [Batch Start Line 0]
Could not update the metadata that indicates table [<schema name>]. [<object name>] is enabled for Change Data Capture. The failure occurred when executing the command 'insert into [cdc].[captured_columns]'. The error returned was 213: 'Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.'. Use the action and error to determine the cause of the failure and resubmit the request.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, run sp_cdc_vupgrade after you attach a database on an instance of SQL Server 2016 or SQL Server 2017 on Windows that has Change Data Capture enabled.
