I’m attempting to add a new table to my recent database using SQL Server Management Studio, but I encounter an error stating that the backend version does not support creating database diagrams or tables.
I checked the version information by selecting the ‘About’ option in SSMS, and the details confirmed the version installed. A screenshot was displayed showing these version details, but no link is provided here. Can anyone explain what might be going wrong with this setup?
hey creativechef89, maybe its a compatibilty issue with your older backend verion. im curious if tweaking settings or even applying some patches might do the trick. any other workaround u found online? would love to hear ur thoughts
I encountered a similar issue when I noticed that my SSMS version and SQL Server compatibility were misaligned. Often, the error relates to the fact that the backend server may not support all the features that newer versions of SSMS assume. In my case, updating the server to a more recent service pack and ensuring that the client settings were set to a compatible mode resolved the error. Reviewing the release notes on Microsoft’s documentation can also provide clarity on feature limitations pertaining to specific versions.
hey, seems like your setup is tripping over version mismatches. i had this issue once and fixed it by aligning server config with ssms settings. mayb u wanna check that alignment too?
