Every time the SQL Server Product team starts working with their new version of SQL Server they give a Code Name to it, and before the final name is announced (which goes with the year name) the Code name gets popular among them, developers, users and the whole SQL community. But sometimes its very tricky and confusing to keep track of the Code Names for the older versions.
So, here is a list of SQL Server various versions I’ve compiled which lists the SQL Server release Final Name with Code Name, and other details like Year released, Version number and OS supported:
Year | Final Name | Version | Code Name | OS Support |
2017 | SQL Server 2017 | 14.0 | Helsinki | Win & Linux |
2016 | SQL Server 2016 | 13.0 | – | Windows |
2014 | SQL Server 2014 | 12.0 | Hekaton | Windows |
2012 | SQL Server 2012 | 11.0 | Denali | Windows |
2010 | SQL Server 2008 R2 | 10.5 | Kilimanjaro | Windows |
2010 | SQL Azure DB | 10.25 | Cloud DB | Azure |
2008 | SQL Server 2008 | 10.0 | Katmai | Windows |
2005 | SQL Server Analysis Services | – | Picasso | Windows |
2005 | SQL Server 2005 | 9.0 | Yukon | Windows |
2003 | SQL Server Reporting Services | – | Rosetta | Windows |

2000 | SQL Server 2000 x86 (32 bit) | 8.0 | Shiloh | Windows |
1999 | SQL Server 7.0 OLAP Services | – | Plato | Windows |
1998 | SQL Server 7.0 | 7.0 | Sphinx | Windows |
1996 | SQL Server 6.5 | 6.5 | Hydra | Windows |
1995 | SQL Server 6.0 | 6.0 | SQL95 | Windows |
1993 | SQL Server 4.21 | 4.21 | – | Windows |
