Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. SQL Server and Azure SQL are inherently Windows-centric technologies, but the documentation reinforces this by listing Windows-based tools (Visual Studio Code, Azure Data Studio, SQL Server Management Studio) as the only examples for running SQL queries. There is no mention of Linux-native SQL tools (such as sqlcmd, DBeaver, or command-line alternatives) for setup or management. Additionally, configuration examples (local.settings.json, host.json) are presented in a way that assumes familiarity with Windows-style development environments, and the connection string documentation references .NET APIs, which are more common in Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Add references to Linux-native SQL tools (e.g., sqlcmd, DBeaver, SQuirreL SQL, or command-line interfaces) in the 'Set up change tracking' section.
  • Clarify that all SQL setup steps can be performed from Linux, macOS, or Windows environments, and provide examples or links for cross-platform tooling.
  • When referencing configuration files (local.settings.json, host.json), note that these files are used in both Windows and Linux environments and provide guidance for Linux shell usage if relevant.
  • Where .NET APIs or tooling are referenced, mention equivalent cross-platform SDKs or libraries if available.
