We accumulate and retain documentation for very old versions of Microsoft SQL Server in sets of archived webpages. The archived webpages are not processed by search engines, such as Bing.com and Google.com. Yet you can see these archives at our Docs previous-versions/sql/ address:
These archives include the documentation for at least the following older versions:
- SQL Server 2012
- SQL Server 2008 R2
- SQL Server 2008
- SQL Server 2005
SQL Server 2014 documentation is still available on our main Docs address.
SQL Server 2019 documentation is available on our main Docs address. Then use the versioning dropdown near the top of the page, to select another version of interest.
For more information about the documentation for previous versions of SQL Server, see Previous versions of SQL Server documentation.
