labview 2023 sql version that is installed

I need to know the version of sql server that is installed with labview 2023 for the it department.

LabVIEW does not come with any SQL server. It only provides the client API (Database Connectivity Toolkit) to communicate with other servers.

If i understand labview installs citadel 5 which installs the sql server?  We are currently uning lv 2017 and IT doesn't like the sql version.

I believe Citadel is only installed when you install the LV DSC module.

According to this, it seems it would be SQL Server 2008 for your version:

LabVIEW itself does not install SQL Express Server. the LabVIEW DSC Toolkit (Datalogging and Supervisory Control) does however as pointed out by tst.

Questions are: Does that app need the DSC? If not what else might be used in that specific app that uses SQL Server? LabVIEW itself does not include SQL Server, but whoever wrote the app that the OP runs with LabVIEW might have added that to their app setup. So it is important to find out where the SQL Server dependency comes from. It determines how and if you can upgrade that SQL Server installation.
