Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows authentication, Windows-style usernames (domain\username), and Windows-specific tools and configuration steps (such as SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, and Windows Firewall). Troubleshooting and setup instructions are written only for Windows environments, with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, nor any references to Linux-compatible tools or authentication methods.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions and examples for connecting from Linux environments, such as using sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio, or other cross-platform tools.
  • Provide Linux-compatible authentication guidance (e.g., Kerberos, SQL authentication) and clarify any limitations or differences.
  • Add troubleshooting steps for Linux, such as configuring firewalls with iptables/firewalld, and enabling TCP/IP via configuration files or command-line tools.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only tools (like SQL Server Management Studio or Configuration Manager); mention cross-platform or browser-based alternatives where possible.
  • When showing username formats, clarify that domain\username is a Windows convention and provide Linux/Unix equivalents if applicable.
  • Explicitly state OS requirements or limitations for features that are only available on Windows, and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux users.
