Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows authentication is discussed in detail and presented before any mention of Linux alternatives; configuration steps and troubleshooting focus exclusively on Windows tools (e.g., SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, Windows Firewall), with no mention of Linux equivalents; and there are no examples or guidance for connecting to SQL Server from Linux hosts or using Linux authentication mechanisms. The page lacks parity for Linux users, both in terms of authentication and server management.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for connecting to SQL Server from Linux hosts, including authentication options such as Kerberos or SQL authentication from Linux.
- Include troubleshooting steps and configuration instructions for SQL Server running on Linux, referencing tools like sqlcmd, systemctl, and Linux firewall configuration.
- Present authentication options in a platform-neutral order (e.g., SQL, Windows, Kerberos, Managed Identity), and clarify which are available on each OS.
- Where Windows-specific tools are mentioned (e.g., SQL Server Management Studio, Configuration Manager), provide Linux alternatives (e.g., sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio, command-line configuration).
- Add notes or sections on differences and limitations when using SQL Server on Linux, including supported features and configuration steps.
