Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-specific tools (SQL Server Management Studio) for database access and omitting any mention of Linux-compatible alternatives. There are no examples or instructions for Linux users to connect to Azure SQL Database (e.g., via Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd, or other cross-platform tools). The only client tool mentioned is SQL Server Management Studio, which is Windows-only, and it is introduced without alternatives or parity for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations:
- Add instructions and examples for connecting to Azure SQL Database using cross-platform tools such as Azure Data Studio or the sqlcmd command-line utility.
- Explicitly mention that SQL Server Management Studio is a Windows-only tool and provide Linux/macOS alternatives in the same section.
- Wherever database queries are to be run, provide command-line examples (e.g., using sqlcmd) in addition to GUI-based instructions.
- Review screenshots and UI steps to ensure they are not exclusively based on Windows-only tools, or supplement them with cross-platform tool screenshots where possible.
- Consider a 'Platform note' at the start of the tutorial to guide Linux/macOS users to appropriate tools and steps.
