Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing SQL Server connectivity examples exclusively using PowerShell syntax and Windows-style command lines. There are no Linux/macOS shell examples for connecting to SQL Server (e.g., using bash or sh), nor is there mention of Linux-specific tools or patterns for base64 decoding or SQL command execution. The PowerShell examples are presented as the only option, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS shell (bash/sh) examples for connecting to SQL Server using sqlcmd, e.g., using single quotes and Linux command syntax.
  • Include instructions for decoding base64 credentials using Linux tools (e.g., `echo <base64> | base64 -d`).
  • Clarify that the sqlcmd commands can be run from any OS with the appropriate tools installed, and provide cross-platform command examples.
  • Avoid labeling command blocks as 'powershell' when the commands are cross-platform (e.g., use 'console' or 'bash' where appropriate).
