Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-centric bias. All operational examples, file paths, and tool references (e.g., PsExec, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, C:\Program Files, SSMS) are specific to Windows environments. There are no instructions, examples, or even mentions of restoring SQL Server databases on Linux-based Azure VMs, nor are Linux file paths, permissions, or tools discussed. The only restore tooling referenced is SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), which is Windows-only, and the use of Windows command-line utilities is assumed throughout.
Recommendations:
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for restoring SQL Server on Linux-based Azure VMs, including relevant file paths (e.g., /var/opt/mssql/), permissions, and service management commands.
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., use 'sudo' and Linux file permissions instead of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM and PsExec).
  • Mention and provide examples for cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI and SQLCMD, and clarify how to perform restores using these tools on Linux.
  • Avoid assuming the presence of SSMS; suggest alternatives like Azure Data Studio or SQLCMD for Linux users.
  • When referencing file locations or commands, present both Windows and Linux variants side by side.
  • Explicitly state any limitations or differences for SQL Server on Linux in Azure VMs, if applicable.
