We have coldfusion 8 application server (Enterprise Edition)  installed in one server. There is a plan to upgrade backend SQL server  from 2005  to SQL server 2012 with windows 2008 as Operating system . When we checked the below url  regarding support  for Coldfusion 8, we found SQL server 2008 and SQL server 2012 missing in the  Page3 (Database platform support included)

http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf8_systemsupportmatrix.pdf

Above url seems to be updated very long back.

We would like to get a confirmation that whether Coldfusion 8 will support SQL server 2012 ?

Any  Inputs  or suggestions will help us in proceeding further

    I have used CF8 with SQL 2012. Suggest setup a duplicate of your SQL 2005 database on SQL 2012 Express, point a CF8 instance at it then test your applications work ok before migration. HTH, Carl.

    It may work with CF12, as carl said, but if you are looking for "official" support, I think that is HIGHLY unlikely.

    Hello sivakarthikeyan,

    You may try setting up SQL Server 2012 with ColdFusion 8, however the same is not supported by Adobe. SQL Server 2012 is only supported with ColdFusion 10 officially.
