How can I upgrade 10.3 enterprise geodatabase to 10.9 directly ?

How easily can I upgrade Enterprise geodatabase from 10.3 to 10.9 ? 

Should it be incremental or can directly upgrade ?

DB version is Microsoft SQL server 2022

I do not think that SQL Server 2022 is supported at any version of ArcGIS Enterprise. It was just released 2 - 3 weeks ago; https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/system-requirements/10.9.1/windows/database-requirements-sqlserver.... 

You will need to go to an intermediate version first, then to 10.9.1; https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/manage-sql-server/upgrade-geodatabas...

• You can upgrade directly from a 10.4.x, 10.5.x, 10.6.x, 10.7.x, 10.8.x, or 10.9.x geodatabase if your database release is supported for the ArcGIS version to which you upgrade.

Hope this helps!

@George_Thompson Is there any way I can convert geodatabase from 10.3 to 10.4 first, Because I cannot see any option to select the geodatabase version while upgrading

Thanks,

Shamnas

@shamnasPC when you upgrade, it will upgrade to the version of the client. For example, if you want to upgrade to 10.7.x, you will need to install ArcMap 10.7.1. We do not have options for different versions within the same client at this time.

You can download and install 10.7.1 from My Esri and use that at the intermediate version: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.7/manage-data/gdbs-in-sql-server/upgrade-geodatabase-sqlserv... it is in fully supported.
