Deprecated Database Engine features in SQL Server 2016 (13.x)

Applies to: SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and later versions

This article describes the deprecated SQL Server Database Engine features that are still available in SQL Server 2016 (13.x). Deprecated features shouldn't be used in new applications.

When a feature is marked deprecated, it means:

  • The feature is in maintenance mode only. No new changes are added, including changes related to addressing interoperability with new features.
  • We strive not to remove a deprecated feature from future releases to make upgrades easier. However, under rare situations, we might choose to permanently discontinue (remove) the feature from SQL Server if it limits future innovations.
  • For new development work, don't use deprecated features. For existing applications, plan to modify applications that currently use these features as soon as possible.

For SQL Server 2017 (14.x), see Deprecated Database Engine features in SQL Server 2017 (14.x).

You can monitor the use of deprecated features by using the SQL Server Deprecated Features Object performance counter and trace events. For more information, see Use SQL Server Objects.

The value of these counters is also available by executing the following statement:

SELECT * FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters   
WHERE object_name LIKE '%SQL%Deprecated Features%';  

Features deprecated in the next version of SQL Server

The following SQL Server Database Engine features aren't supported in a future version of SQL Server. Don't use these features in new development work, and modify applications that currently use these features as soon as possible. The Feature name value appears in trace events as the ObjectName and in performance counters and sys.dm_os_performance_counters as the instance name. The Feature ID value appears in trace events as the ObjectId.

Category Deprecated feature Replacement Feature name Feature ID
Backup and Restore RESTORE { DATABASE | LOG } WITH [MEDIA]PASSWORD continues to be deprecated. BACKUP { DATABASE | LOG } WITH PASSWORD and BACKUP { DATABASE | LOG } WITH MEDIAPASSWORD are discontinued. None BACKUP DATABASE or LOG WITH PASSWORD

Compatibility levels Upgrade from version 100 (SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) and SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.50.x)). When a SQL Server version goes out of support, the associated database compatibility level will be marked deprecated. However, we continue to support applications certified on any supported Database Compatibility Level as long as possible, to make the upgrades easier. For more information about compatibility levels, see ALTER DATABASE Compatibility Level (Transact-SQL). Database compatibility level 100 108
Database objects Ability to return result sets from triggers None Returning results from trigger 12
Encryption Encryption using RC4 or RC4_128 is deprecated and will be removed in the next version. Decrypting RC4 and RC4_128 isn't deprecated. Use another encryption algorithm such as AES. Deprecated encryption algorithm 253
Hash algorithms Using the MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA, and SHA1 is deprecated. Use SHA2_256 or SHA2_512 instead. Older algorithms continue working, but they raise a deprecation event. Deprecated hash algorithm None

Other DB-Library

Embedded SQL for C
Although the Database Engine still supports connections from existing applications that use the DB-Library and Embedded SQL APIs, it doesn't include the files or documentation required to do programming work on applications that use these APIs. A future version of the SQL Server Database Engine will drop support for connections from DB-Library or Embedded SQL applications. Don't use DB-Library or Embedded SQL to develop new applications. Remove any dependencies on either DB-Library or Embedded SQL when you modify existing applications. Instead of these APIs, use the SQLClient namespace or an API such as ODBC. The current version doesn't include the DB-Library DLL required to run these applications. To run DB-Library or Embedded SQL applications, you must have available the DB-Library DLL from SQL Server version 6.5, SQL Server 7.0, or SQL Server 2000 (8.x). None None

Note

The cookie OUTPUT parameter for sp_setapprole is currently documented as varbinary(8000) which is the correct maximum length. However the current implementation returns varbinary(50). If developers have allocated varbinary(50) the application might require changes if the cookie return size increases in a future release. Though not a deprecation issue this is mentioned in this topic because the application adjustments are similar. For more information, see sp_setapprole.
