Thanks to everyone who attended the PASS Marathon Containers edition and to PASS for the opportunity to present. I received the Questions from the session and wanted to provide answers to the attendees and the community. If you want to see the session again, check it out on YouTube. The decks are available online at http://www.centinosystems.com/blog/talks/ Here’s the list of questions from the session and my answers. What do you mean it is not for production environment in Windows?

Update - head on over to Andrew Pruski’s blog to find out how to get this to work!
Shawn Melton MVP and dbatools contributor last week had an issue running SQL Server on Linux inside of Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Error trying to configure #sqlLinux on the openSUSE app for Windows 10 pic.twitter.com/0Eg5TtV0o5 — Shawn Melton (@wsmelton) December 4, 2017 I didn’t want to leave a brother hanging so I spent this morning digging into this a little bit.
Over the past year we’ve learned about how SQL Server on Linux is implemented, leveraging SQLPAL and the team is pretty confident in their architectural decisions as indicated in this post here.
Now that there is this wrapper around SQL Server, this really opens up some interesting opportunities…perhaps we can leverage SQLPAL to facilitate some new high availability techniques.
When I was in graduate school, I worked on a research project, that became my master’s thesis.
On 12/13 I’m presenting two, back to back, sessions on SQL Server on Linux online. So you can attend from anywhere!
Let’s go through both!
First, on 12/13 at 1PM Central, I’m presenting for the PASS Database Administration Virtual Group here’s my session details:
Topic: Linux OS Fundamentals for the SQL Admin
Registration: You must register if you want to attend. You can register at http://dba.pass.org/. When you register, you will receive a link to the meeting.
Here are my top 5 reasons why I thing SQL Server on Linux is Legit!
SQL Server on Linux is Fast – Earlier this year SQL Server on Linux posted the fasted 1TB TPC-H benchmark in the world and at the end of October posted the a 10TB result! Check out the results here and some info on how they did it here and here. It’s tunable – From and OS standpoint, I think the “tunability” of the operating system is more well documented and well known on Linux.
There was a question this morning on the SQL Server Community Slack channel from SvenLowry about how to launch SQL Server on Linux in Single User Mode. Well you’ve heard everyone say, it’s just SQL Server…and that’s certainly true and this is another example of that idea.
The command line parameters from the sqlservr binary are passed through into the SQLPAL managed Win32 SQL Process. So let’s check out how to do this together…
