SQL Server on Linux

Since 2017 CU4, the SQL Server Agent is no longer a seperate package.

To enable SQL Server Agent:

either

  • sudo /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf set sqlagent.enabled true
  • sudo systemctl restart mssql-server

OR

  • During setup export MSSQL_AGENT_ENABLED=’true’

 

Replication Agents on Linux are in preview aka.ms/sqleap

 

  • Replication Agents are packaged in the server package.
  • Replication can be setup across Windows/Linux and use AD Auth
  • Docker support is currently being tested and will come soon.
  • Replication Agents on Linux can be managed via SSMS on Windows and normally tools as mainly done via stored procs
  • Snapshot,Transactional and Merge Replication are supported
  • Publisher,Distribtutor or Subscriber can be on Linux
  • SQLOps Studio can be used to configure snapshot replication via stored procs
