Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. The local SQL Server setup instructions are provided exclusively as PowerShell scripts, which are most familiar to Windows users and may be less accessible to Linux users. The use of SQL Server Express is specifically mentioned for 'your local Windows computer', while Linux alternatives are not described. There are no bash or shell script equivalents for the Docker setup, nor are there explicit instructions for Linux package installation or troubleshooting. The troubleshooting section references Docker Desktop, which is primarily a Windows/macOS tool. Overall, Linux users are expected to adapt Windows-centric instructions, and Linux-specific patterns or tools are missing.
Recommendations
  • Provide bash/sh script equivalents for all PowerShell commands, especially for Docker-based SQL Server setup and validation.
  • Explicitly mention and provide instructions for installing and running SQL Server Express or SQL Server on Linux distributions.
  • Include troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux environments, such as using docker CLI directly or managing containers without Docker Desktop.
  • Clarify that Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions Core Tools are cross-platform, and provide installation instructions for Linux.
  • When referencing tools (e.g., SQLCMD), include installation instructions for Linux and macOS.
  • Add notes or examples for common Linux patterns, such as using environment variables, file paths, and permissions.
  • Ensure that all code snippets and commands are available in both PowerShell and bash formats, and indicate which OS each example targets.
