Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several areas: Windows authentication is described in detail and presented before any mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives; configuration steps and troubleshooting rely heavily on Windows-specific tools (e.g., SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, Windows Firewall), with no mention of Linux equivalents or instructions; there are no examples or guidance for connecting to SQL Server from Linux environments, nor any reference to Linux authentication mechanisms (such as Kerberos or integrated authentication via Linux domain join).
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for connecting to SQL Server from Linux environments, including authentication options (e.g., SQL authentication, Kerberos, or integrated authentication via Linux domain join).
  • Provide troubleshooting steps for Linux hosts, such as using sqlcmd, configuring firewalls with iptables or ufw, and enabling TCP/IP via configuration files.
  • Mention and link to cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) alongside or before Windows-only tools like SQL Server Management Studio.
  • Clarify which features (such as Windows authentication) are only available on Windows, and suggest Linux alternatives or workarounds where possible.
  • Ensure parity in example code and screenshots by including Linux terminal commands and configuration steps where relevant.
