To roll back or downgrade [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] to a previous release, use the following steps:

1. Identify the version number for the [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] package you want to downgrade to. For a list of package numbers, see the release notes:

   • Release notes for SQL Server 2022 on Linux
   • Release notes for SQL Server 2019 on Linux
   • Release notes for SQL Server 2017 on Linux

2. Downgrade to a previous version of [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md]. In the following commands, replace <version_number> with the [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] version number you identified in step 1.

   Platform	Package update commands
   RHEL	sudo yum downgrade mssql-server-<version_number>.x86_64
   SLES	sudo zypper install --oldpackage mssql-server=<version_number>
   Ubuntu	sudo apt-get install mssql-server=<version_number> sudo systemctl start mssql-server

Note

The only supported downgrade is if you downgrade to a release within the same major version, such as [!INCLUDE sssql22-md].
