Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows authentication and Windows-specific tools (such as SQL Server Management Studio and SQL Server Configuration Manager) in connection setup and troubleshooting sections. Windows authentication is described in detail and given equal prominence to SQL authentication, despite being less relevant for Linux environments. Troubleshooting steps and tool references are exclusively Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. There are no examples or guidance for connecting to SQL Server from Linux, nor instructions for configuring SQL Server on Linux or using Linux-native tools.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions and examples for connecting to SQL Server from Linux environments, including authentication options and connection string formats.
- Include troubleshooting steps and tool references for SQL Server on Linux, such as using sqlcmd, systemctl, or configuration files instead of Windows-only tools.
- Mention Linux authentication patterns (e.g., Kerberos, integrated authentication via GSSAPI) where applicable, and clarify Windows authentication limitations on Linux.
- Provide parity in examples and screenshots, showing both Windows and Linux workflows for common tasks (e.g., enabling remote connections, configuring firewalls, checking TCP/IP settings).
- Clearly indicate which features and instructions are Windows-only, and offer Linux alternatives or note their absence.
