I'm running NTA 3.11 and my existing database is SQL 2008 R3. Both will be upgraded to NTA 4.1 and SQL 2014, respectively. I would like recommendations on the upgrade order.
The DBA team wants to upgrade my database to SQL 2014. NTA 3.11 doesn't support SQL 2014 so they suggested install SQL 2014 but run in SQL 2012 compatibility mode.
1) Does NTA 3.11 support running SQL 2014 in SQL 2012 compatibility mode?
2) Should I upgrade NTA 3.11 to NTA 4.1 first, then upgrade SQL 2008 to SQL 2014 and not worry about compatibility modes?
