Why do you want to run MS SQL on Linux? What will you do when the db gets locked or crashes? You call Microsoft and wait?

Actually, it would appear ms is quite serious about sql server on Linux: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/linux/choosing-licensing-model-using-mssql-conf https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/linux/choo... So I guess, similar to running sql server on windows?
- e12e 6y agoFor development - I was waiting for a dba to sort access to the new prod server, and needed to check that the current app build was minimally working correctly talking to an ms sql instance. It might be interesting to run in CI as well. Running any rdbms in production in docker isn't a great idea. But for dev and test it can be great. For my use case, we deploy mostly to traditional setup (dedicated sql server) - but I could also see it useful for prototyping deployment to mssql in azure cloud.
