Our doc team has just added a new page to the Status Wiki covering the versions of the databases FireDAC officially supports.
Since last year, beside our regular docwiki with the extensive product documentation (it has over a quarter million pages!) Embarcadero has a platforms status wiki indicating with versions of operating systems are supported -- and how that changes over different versions of RAD Studio. The page includes also information on just released operating system updates and fixes or workarounds for those.
Now we have added a new page listing the versions of the RDMBS FireDAC officially supports in different versions of RAD Studio. We plan adding similar workarounds and additional information as it becomes available, although in most cases newer database versions work fine with drivers tested for previous versions. The new page is at:

New FireDAC Database Status Page
Your entry for MS SQL Server seems wrong, as it states only
versions up to 2008 are supported, but the click through link on the
embarcadero website states 2012 and Azure are supported?

Hi Marco, regarding docWiki online documentation, I would like
to suggest a rather major rework of the documentation. It would be
very helpful if you are making a documentation management that
can select which version of RAD Studio for a class. You can see
the example in MSDN. Basically, you browse a feature then you
select a version not like currently where you need to select a
version first then you browse the feature. Most of the time we need
to know what the feature implemented in different version of RAD
Studio. Give a combo box to select version, and show only a
version where the topic is available. You can support a version up
to Delphi 7 where that version is the most widely used in the
world.
Just and idea, hope you can consider it to improve online wiki help
PS: The new help version that is back to CHM format is a good
move, but the problem is that not all help compiled to one help file,
so it is hard to browse the help because the only way to browse
help is by using F1, you can't easily search a function, you need to
know which help package to search

Thanks, this is a useful page. Oracle 12.2 was released for on-
premise servers on January 27th, please consider this my vote for
supporting this version.

No announcement / blogpost about the april hotfix?
Was kind of expecting one.

This page is worthless if it's not updated. Or are you really still only
supporting Oracle 12.1 as the current version is 18.X?
