Summary:
The documentation exhibits subtle Windows bias. Connection string examples for Python use the ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server, which is primarily a Windows driver (though available for Linux, it is less common and requires extra setup). There is no mention of Linux-specific drivers or connection methods (such as FreeTDS or pyodbc configuration for Linux). The instructions for creating the service connection reference 'Cloud Shell' or 'local Azure CLI' but do not clarify Linux-specific steps or differences. No explicit Linux shell or cross-platform CLI examples are provided, and there is no mention of Linux authentication caveats or troubleshooting. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment for code and tooling.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux-compatible connection string examples, mentioning Linux ODBC drivers (e.g., FreeTDS, unixODBC) and their installation.
- Include notes or links about installing and configuring ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server on Linux, or alternatives if not available.
- Add sample code and environment variable setup for Linux shells (bash/zsh), not just Windows/PowerShell.
- Clarify any differences or caveats for Linux users in the 'Share access' and Azure CLI steps.
- Ensure screenshots and portal instructions are not Windows-centric and mention cross-platform compatibility where relevant.
