SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2016

A common question we receive is whether SharePoint 2013 is supported with SQL Server 2016.
The answer here is clear: SharePoint 2013 is NOT supported with SQL Server 2016.
Only the following SQL Server versions are supported with SharePoint 2013:

• The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
• The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2012
• The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2014

There are currently no plans to add support for SQL Server 2016.
