FAQ

Is my SQL query sent to a server?

No. The compatibility check runs entirely client-side in your browser using pattern matching. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

Does this guarantee my query will run on the reported version?

It flags known version-gated syntax and functions, which covers the most common compatibility breaks. It is not a full parser, so always test against the actual target instance before deploying.

Does it support Azure SQL Database?

Yes. Azure SQL Database is continuously updated, so it supports all detected features and is always shown as compatible.
