Is .NET Framework 3.5 still needed with a SQL Server 2017 installation to utilize Database Mail?












4















I'm guessing .NET Framework 3.5 is still needed to use Database Mail with SQL Server 2017? As I had to include this on my SQL Server 2016 installs on Server 2016 not that long ago.



I was unable to find a definitive answer via the web, surprisingly, maybe it goes unsaid.

          No, it is not required for SQL Server 2017. The issue with Database Mail not working was fixed in 2016 SP1 CU2, and 2016 RTM CU2:
          FIX: SQL Server 2016 Database Mail does not work on a computer that does not have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed or stops working after applying SQL Server update



          I know of several SQL Server 2016 and 2017 systems that are installed without .NET 3.51, and Database Mail is working fine.



          Note that .NET Framework 3.5 was not included in Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server, and that the SQL Server 2016 and SQL Server 2017 view of this page is the same. The Database Mail issue was considered a defect in SQL Server 2016 and was fixed accordingly.

          • Great, thanks for the clarification, yes I recall the dubious CU for SQL 2016 that broke database mail, so I ran around verifying that .net 3.5 was installed. Good times.

          Berlina muro

          Image
          La berlina muro ĉe Bethaniendamm, 1986 La berlina muro aŭ simple la muro [1] , nomita ankaŭ "kontraŭfaŝisma remparo" en propaganda lingvo de la iama Germana Demokratia Respubliko, estis parto de la interngermana limo, kiu dividis de la 13-a de aŭgusto 1961 ĝis la 9-a de novembro 1989 okcidentan Berlinon de la orienta parto de la urbo kaj de la ĉirkaŭa tereno de la GDR. Ĝi estis unu el la plej famaj simboloj de la malvarma milito kaj de la disdivido de Germanio. Pli ol simpla muro, la berlina muro estis fakte tuta defendokonstruaĵo kun du muroj, ena malplena strio, rondirvojo, gardturoj kaj alarmsistemoj. Dum la provo transiri la severe garditan limon al okcidenta Berlino multaj homoj estis mortigitaj. La preciza nombro de viktimoj estas pridisputita kaj ne certa; la nombroj anoncataj varias inter 86 kaj 238 mortintoj. La malplifortiĝo de Sovetunio kaj la politiko de liberigo gvidita de Miĥail Gorbaĉov ebligis al la orientgermanoj faligi la 9-an de novembro 1989 l...
