Summary
The documentation page references SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) as the primary GUI tool for connecting to SQL Managed Instance enabled by Azure Arc, which is Windows-only. While it also mentions sqlcmd (available cross-platform), SSMS is listed first and no Linux-native GUI alternatives (such as Azure Data Studio or DBeaver) are suggested. The examples for connecting use sqlcmd, which is cross-platform, but the overall narrative and tool recommendations are Windows-centric. No Linux-specific connection guidance or troubleshooting is provided.
Recommendations
- Mention Azure Data Studio as a cross-platform GUI alternative to SSMS for Linux/macOS users.
- Provide explicit examples or troubleshooting tips for connecting from Linux/macOS, including any differences in authentication or network configuration.
- List sqlcmd before SSMS in tool recommendations to emphasize cross-platform parity.
- Include a note about installing sqlcmd on Linux/macOS, with a link to relevant documentation.
- Consider referencing other popular cross-platform SQL clients (e.g., DBeaver, TablePlus) for broader user support.
