Summary:
The documentation page focuses exclusively on SQL Server Agent (a Windows-centric tool) and Azure Elastic Job Agent for job orchestration, with all management examples and screenshots referencing SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), which is primarily a Windows application. There are no examples or mentions of Linux-native tools or cross-platform alternatives for managing jobs or interacting with SQL Server/Azure SQL. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of tooling or workflow.
Recommendations:
- Include examples or references to cross-platform tools such as Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd, or PowerShell Core (which runs on Linux) for managing jobs and interacting with SQL Server/Azure SQL.
- Mention and provide examples for using Linux-compatible automation/orchestration tools (e.g., cron jobs, systemd timers, or Azure CLI) to trigger or monitor long-running stored procedures.
- Add screenshots and walkthroughs using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio) in addition to or instead of SSMS.
- Clarify which steps or tools are Windows-only and provide Linux alternatives where possible.
- Highlight any differences or requirements for users running SQL Server on Linux (e.g., SQL Server Agent is available on SQL Server for Linux, but management is different).
