Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows by exclusively referencing and providing examples for Windows-specific tools (such as SqlPackage.exe and SQL Server Management Studio), omitting Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. There are no examples or instructions for performing the same tasks on Linux, and Windows tools are mentioned first and exclusively.
Recommendations:
  • Include instructions and examples for using cross-platform or Linux-native tools (e.g., sqlcmd on Linux, Azure Data Studio on Linux, or Docker CLI commands for interacting with SQL Edge containers).
  • Mention and provide download links for Linux-compatible versions of tools like SqlPackage (which is available for Linux) and show example commands for Linux shells (bash) alongside Windows (cmd).
  • Avoid referencing only Windows-specific tools (like SQL Server Management Studio) or, if referenced, clearly indicate their cross-platform alternatives and usage.
  • When providing command-line examples, offer both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux (bash) syntax.
  • Explicitly state that Azure Data Studio and sqlcmd are available on Linux and macOS, and provide relevant installation and usage instructions.
