Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through exclusive references to Windows-based tools (such as SQL Server Management Studio) for database user and permission management, and by omitting equivalent Linux tooling or command-line alternatives. All examples and instructions for connecting to Azure SQL Database, managing users, and configuring authentication reference SQL Server Management Studio, which is a Windows-only application. There are no examples using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, sqlcmd, or Data Studio), nor are Linux-specific instructions or screenshots provided. This may hinder Linux users or those working in non-Windows environments from following the documentation seamlessly.
Recommendations
  • Include examples using cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI, sqlcmd, or Azure Data Studio for database management tasks (e.g., creating users, granting permissions).
  • Provide instructions and screenshots for performing key steps (such as running T-SQL commands) on Linux and macOS environments.
  • Mention and link to installation guides for cross-platform tools where appropriate.
  • Where SQL Server Management Studio is referenced, add alternative steps using command-line or GUI tools available on Linux.
  • Explicitly state that all operations can be performed from Linux environments and clarify any differences in workflow or prerequisites.
