      So, my personal feeling, is that the Linux port of SQL Server will be the main one in no time. MS needs it to be every bit on par or better than the Windows version.

      Shouldn't be too difficult. I'll be interested to see if SQL Manager works with this version.

      It does, and is available on Linux, too. It has to or nothing work work as it works through the singular connection. This isn't a different "version" of SQL Server, it is just deployed to Linux. It's full SQL Server and works with all tools.

      Good to know.

        I was waiting for this release. I know a few developers who can’t wait to try this. Looks like I need to spin this up.

          I have been eagerly anticipating it myself as we have some MS SQL based stuff that I can potentially move now

                After that it is up and running. Worth noting, you will need 4GB of RAM to even fire up the process, which is a tad excessive when you consider that you can run its competition in production with far less RAM than that.

                Current docs show only 2GB required. I built the VM with 3GB and 2 vCPU.

                And only XFS and EXT4 filesystems are supported. That means no ZFS, no BtrFS, no JFS2, etc.

                Who cares?

                  A lot of people, especially on places like FreeNAS forums or 🌶 tend to be very "anti" traditional solid filesystems and are religiously addicted to ZFS and BtrFS or ReFS style filesystems.

                    I don't care about stupid. Everything RHEL/Fedora defaults to XFS.

                    No idea what Debian 9 or Ubuntu default to.
