Summary
The documentation page exhibits moderate Windows bias, particularly in the local database setup section, which exclusively provides PowerShell commands and references SQL Server Express 'on your local Windows computer' before mentioning Docker. There are no Linux/macOS-specific command examples for local SQL Server setup, and troubleshooting steps reference Docker Desktop (primarily a Windows/macOS tool). The use of PowerShell as the only scripting language for local setup may create friction for Linux users, who are more likely to use Bash. While Docker is cross-platform, the instructions and examples are tailored to Windows users, and Linux users must adapt them without guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash shell equivalents for all PowerShell setup commands, especially for Docker-based SQL Server setup.
  • Explicitly mention and show how to install and run SQL Server Express or Docker on Linux/macOS, not just Windows.
  • Include troubleshooting steps for Linux users (e.g., using 'docker ps', 'docker exec', file path differences).
  • Reference cross-platform SQL clients (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) with installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • Avoid language like 'on your local Windows computer' unless alternatives are shown for other platforms.
  • Where PowerShell is used, clarify that Bash can be used and provide sample Bash scripts.
