Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several areas: authentication examples and terminology prioritize Windows authentication, troubleshooting steps and configuration instructions rely on Windows-only tools (SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, Windows Firewall), and links to supporting articles are Windows-centric. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or instructions, nor are cross-platform alternatives mentioned for critical setup steps.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS equivalents for troubleshooting and configuration steps, such as instructions for configuring SQL Server on Linux (using systemctl, sqlcmd, firewall-cmd/ufw).
- Include examples for connecting to SQL Server from Linux/macOS clients (e.g., using sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio, or ODBC tools).
- Mention and link to documentation for SQL Server on Linux, including authentication options and network configuration.
- Clarify which features (such as Windows authentication) are Windows-only, and provide alternatives or guidance for Linux environments.
- Reorder sections or provide parity so that SQL authentication (cross-platform) is presented before or alongside Windows authentication.
- Add troubleshooting steps for Linux-based SQL Server installations, including service management and firewall configuration.
