MS SQL Server 2000 IPv6

Question

Does anyone know if SQL Server 2000 supports IPv6? I did some googling around, but I'm not finding any documentation on it.

I very much doubt it. MS, IIRC, first released experimental support for IPv6 well after 2000. I doubt it would be retro-fitted to such a critical product until it was a mainstream part of the OS (ie. Windows Server 2008). — Richard, Mar 22, 2011 at 16:11
I haven't found much for any discussing it out there, but I imagine you're probably right. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough when we start converting over to IPv6, and SQL 2000 will probably just have to stay dual-stacked. — MikeSmitty, Mar 22, 2011 at 22:10

No.

IPv6 support is only available from SQL Server 2005 and later.

... and SQL 2005 included a major redesign of connectivity, so that's not just Microsoft not listing it as supported, they actually added the functionality then.

Thanks for the link, but it looks like that's just for Windows Server instead of SQL Server.

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.
