Migration of 3-rd party database application to SQL2017

  • Hi,
     company want to migrate 3-rd party database application (let's name it "financial_db 3-rd party ")  from SQL 2012 to SQL 2017 and possibly to Azure.
     officially "financial_db 3-rd party " supported by SQL 2012 I think they simply did not bother to test it on 2012+

     "financial_db 3-rd party " can be used with different RDBMS as 
    Oracle, Informix, Sybase, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server versions up to 2012, PostgreSQL, SQLite
    Without setting testing application server  connected to DB restored on SQL 2017 and trying to open all application windows and running application batches I need to identify if database will work with 2017

    Since application can use different   RDBMS as back end I will safely exclude server objects like triggers ,calls to shell
    If Restore database on  SQL 2017 what is best ways to scan syscomments for code not supported by SQL 2017 ?

    Thank you
    Alex

    Thank you! 
    I found similar article 
    http://jasonbrimhall.info/2016/11/07/finding-deprecated-uses-in-sql-server/

    started filtering out in "where"
    like 
    AND [feature] NOT LIKE '%Returning results from trigger%'

    because event file filling out quickly on repeatable events
