Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, especially in the local SQL Server setup section. PowerShell is used exclusively for scripting, and SQL Server Express is suggested specifically for 'your local Windows computer.' There are no Bash or Linux shell equivalents for database setup, and Windows-centric tools/patterns (PowerShell, SQL Server Express) are mentioned before Linux alternatives. The troubleshooting and validation steps also assume familiarity with Windows tooling. While Docker is cross-platform, the examples and instructions are primarily tailored for Windows users, creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash shell equivalents for all PowerShell commands, especially for Docker-based SQL Server setup and validation.
  • Explicitly mention and show how to install and use SQL Server Express or Docker images on Linux/macOS, not just Windows.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific troubleshooting steps for Docker and SQL Server connectivity.
  • When referencing tools like SQL Server Express, clarify cross-platform alternatives (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) and provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • Present examples in both PowerShell and Bash, or use a neutral scripting language where possible.
  • Avoid phrases like 'your local Windows computer' unless alternatives are also shown.
