Hi
For SQL Server replication distribution databases in an Always On availability group (AG). We're trying to confirm if the limitation "All SQL Server instances hosting distribution database replicas must be SQL Server 2017 CU 6 or later" is correct or if SQL Server 2016 SP2-CU3 also supports this.
In this article it says SQL Server 2016 SP2-CU3 introduced support for replication distribution database. Surely if that version supports it, then the replicas can run on that version? The limitation I quoted above from the same article contradicts that. I wonder if it's because support for 2016 was added later (as per the update at the bottom of this doc) and they missed updating the versions in that limitation?
Thanks,
Justin
