Summary:
The documentation consistently references the use of Microsoft SQL Server and its associated drivers (e.g., ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server, mssql-jdbc, mssql npm package), which are primarily Microsoft technologies. In the Python example, only the 'ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server' is mentioned, which is often associated with Windows environments, and there is no mention of how to install or configure this driver on Linux. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions or examples, such as installing drivers on Linux, handling environment variables in Linux shells, or troubleshooting common Linux issues. No PowerShell or cmd examples are present, but the documentation implicitly assumes familiarity with Microsoft-centric tooling.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention and provide installation instructions for SQL Server drivers on Linux (e.g., how to install ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server on Ubuntu/Debian/Red Hat).
- Include notes or examples for setting environment variables in Linux shells (e.g., export AZURE_SQL_CONNECTIONSTRING=...).
- Add troubleshooting tips or references for common Linux issues (e.g., driver library paths, permissions).
- Where possible, mention cross-platform alternatives or clarify that the provided drivers and code samples work on both Windows and Linux.
- If any code or driver is Windows-only or has different behavior on Linux, clearly document those differences.
