SQL 2012 upgrade to SQL 2019 - No instance found

  • Hi all,

    I have a problem with upgrading SQL server 2012 STD (sp4) to SQL Server 2019 STD

    When I launch wizard to upgrade a previous version of SQL Server to SQL Serve 2019, at the "select feature" window I don't see any database instance. I only see the Shared feature Integration services. (cf screenshot)

    No database engine appears while my sql 2012 instance is present and functional.

    I've done dozens of migrations exactly like this and never had this problem.

    What's your opinion ? Thanks for your help!

  • Because you can only upgrade 2 previous versions. 2019 will upgrade 2017 and 2016.

    If you must upgrade, as opposed to a fresh install and migrate, you will need to upgrade to 2016 first, and then to 2019
