+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> The database engine version numbers for [!INCLUDE [ssnoversion-md](ssnoversion-md.md)] and [!INCLUDE [ssazure-sqldb](ssazure-sqldb.md)] aren't comparable with each other, and rather are internal build numbers for these separate products. The database engine for [!INCLUDE [ssazure-sqldb](ssazure-sqldb.md)] is based on the same code base as the [!INCLUDE [ssdenoversion-md](ssdenoversion-md.md)]. Most importantly, the database engine in [!INCLUDE [ssazure-sqldb](ssazure-sqldb.md)] always has the newest SQL database engine bits. Version 12 of [!INCLUDE [ssazure-sqldb](ssazure-sqldb.md)] is newer than version 15 of [!INCLUDE [ssnoversion-md](ssnoversion-md.md)].
