SQL server 2019 upgrade checkpoints from SQL 2016

Hello Meraj,

I am Jaspreet Singh an independent advisor.

The main Pro of upgrading to SQL server 2019 will be the long term support which 2016 will be getting to the end of in 2021 (mainstream support ending)

Other Pro will be that 2019 update brought a bunch of new cutting edge features that have since been started to be used.

here is a comparison of these new features in 2019 with availability among 2016 and 2017 :

But since most of these features are new 2019 update has all the issues that plague new releases and you should be ready to keep the updates rolling because you will be getting a lot of patches on pretty significant issues. Alongside that since the update has
been relatively new you will have to work out issues popping up on your own.

This blog summarizes it pretty well :
