Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number. Virtualizing Microsoft SQL on VMware vSphere. Accelerate application lifecycles and improve application quality of service by consolidating your SQL Servers on the private cloud with VMware vSphere.With vSphere, you can consolidate your SQL infrastructure by 4X to 20X and cut hardware and software costs by more than 50 percent while avoiding the painful compromises associated with traditional. 2020-4-5 You can now develop applications or services that can run on Windows, Mac, and even Linux. But what about database technologies? Many.NET-focused developers tend to lean towards using Microsoft SQL Server for their relational database needs. But SQL Server, for as long as many people can remember, can only run on a Windows platform. Nov 17, 2016 Microsoft’s recent Connect; event included a lot of interesting announcements. The one that really got my attention was SQL Server for Linux.My first question, of course: Can I run this on my Mac? I want to get sql running on my mac. I'm just messing around with sql for now to see what it can do, but essentially what I would like to do is this: Get sql running and connect it with excel or some sort of database server. Whichever is better for creating relational databases. Create a few sample databases and run some practice queries.

Tip

This guide covers several deployment scenarios. If you are only looking for step-by-step installation instructions, jump to one of the quickstarts:

For answers to frequently asked questions, see the SQL Server on Linux FAQ.

Supported platforms

SQL Server is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), and Ubuntu. It is also supported as a Docker image, which can run on Docker Engine on Linux or Docker for Windows/Mac.

Platform	Supported version(s)	Get
Red Hat Enterprise Linux	7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6	Get RHEL 7.6
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server	v12 SP2	Get SLES v12 SP2
Ubuntu	16.04	Get Ubuntu 16.04
Docker Engine	1.8+	Get Docker

Platform	Supported version(s)	Get
Red Hat Enterprise Linux	7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 8.0	Get RHEL 8.0
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server	v12 SP2, SP3, SP4, SP5	Get SLES v12
Ubuntu	16.04, 18.04	Get Ubuntu 18.04
Docker Engine	1.8+	Get Docker

Microsoft also supports deploying and managing SQL Server containers by using OpenShift and Kubernetes.

Note

SQL Server is tested and supported on Linux for the previously listed distributions. If you choose to install SQL Server on an unsupported operating system, please review the Support policy section of the Technical support policy for Microsoft SQL Server to understand the support implications.

System requirements

SQL Server has the following system requirements for Linux:

Memory	2 GB
File System	XFS or EXT4 (other file systems, such as BTRFS, are unsupported)
Disk space	6 GB
Processor speed	2 GHz
Processor cores	2 cores
Processor type	x64-compatible only

If you use Network File System (NFS) remote shares in production, note the following support requirements:

Use NFS version 4.2 or higher. Older versions of NFS do not support required features, such as fallocate and sparse file creation, common to modern file systems.
Locate only the /var/opt/mssql directories on the NFS mount. Other files, such as the SQL Server system binaries, are not supported.
Ensure that NFS clients use the 'nolock' option when mounting the remote share.

Configure source repositories

When you install or upgrade SQL Server, you get the latest version of SQL Server from your configured Microsoft repository. The quickstarts use the Cumulative Update CU repository for SQL Server. But you can instead configure a GDR repository. For more information on repositories and how to configure them, see Configure repositories for SQL Server on Linux.

Install SQL Server

You can install SQL Server 2017 or SQL Server 2019 on Linux from the command line. For step-by-step instructions, see one of the following quickstarts:

Hi jmoude,Thanks for posting your issue in this community. Microsoft office 2016 for mac office depot.

Platform	Installation quickstarts
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)	2017 \| 2019
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)	2017 \| 2019
Ubuntu	2017 \| 2019
Docker	2017 \| 2019

Microsoft access for mac os x. You can also run SQL Server on Linux in an Azure virtual machine. For more information, see Provision a SQL VM in Azure.

After installing, consider making additional configuration changes for optimal performance. For more information, see Performance best practices and configuration guidelines for SQL Server on Linux.

Update or Upgrade SQL Server

To update the mssql-server package to the latest release, use one of the following commands based on your platform:

Platform	Package update command(s)
RHEL	`sudo yum update mssql-server`
SLES	`sudo zypper update mssql-server`
Ubuntu	`sudo apt-get update` `sudo apt-get install mssql-server`

These commands download the newest package and replace the binaries located under /opt/mssql/. The user generated databases and system databases are not affected by this operation.

To upgrade SQL Server, first change your configured repository to the desired version of SQL Server. Then use the same update command to upgrade your version of SQL Server. This is only possible if the upgrade path is supported between the two repositories.

Rollback SQL Server

To rollback or downgrade SQL Server to a previous release, use the following steps:

Identify the version number for the SQL Server package you want to downgrade to. For a list of package numbers, see the Release notes.

Downgrade to a previous version of SQL Server. In the following commands, replace <version_number> with the SQL Server version number you identified in step one.

Platform	Package update command(s)
RHEL	`sudo yum downgrade mssql-server-<version_number>.x86_64`
SLES	`sudo zypper install --oldpackage mssql-server=<version_number>`
Ubuntu	`sudo apt-get install mssql-server=<version_number>` `sudo systemctl start mssql-server`
