Summary
The documentation page primarily references SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), a Windows-only tool, as the first example for connecting to SQL Managed Instance enabled by Azure Arc. While sqlcmd (cross-platform) is mentioned, SSMS is listed first and no Linux-native GUI tools (such as Azure Data Studio or DBeaver) are referenced. The examples for connecting use sqlcmd, which is available on both Windows and Linux, but there is no explicit Linux/macOS-specific guidance or mention of Linux GUI alternatives. The Azure CLI commands are cross-platform, but the overall tone and tool recommendations favor Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Mention cross-platform SQL client tools such as Azure Data Studio, DBeaver, or Squirrel SQL alongside SSMS.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS connection instructions, including any prerequisites for installing sqlcmd on Linux/macOS.
  • List sqlcmd as the primary example, or show both SSMS and sqlcmd examples equally.
  • Add a note about how to install sqlcmd on Linux/macOS, or link to relevant installation documentation.
  • Consider including screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux/macOS users where appropriate.
