Hi all,
I have a macbook so I installed Parallels and Windows 11 pro (arm). But I have a problem to install MS SQL Server on it. It seems to be imposible. Can you help me with this?
Thanks a lot.

Is microsoft has plans to release sql server on windows arm. I'm enticed to buy the new Microsoft Surface Pro Arm but my concern is that most of the Microsoft Dev tools wont work on it.
I would not expect an ARM version of SQL Server anytime soon. They releases the special version SQL Edge some years back, but I get the impression that they have discontinued it.
One thing to keep in mind that developer machines is not SQL Server's main arena - that is servers that are running production workloads. Developing an ARM version only for developers is unlikely to be an investment that will pay back.

The latest version of SQL Server on ARM Windows 11 22000 is SQL Server 2012 Express SP4.
Huh? Are you saying that SQL 2012 is running on ARM? There is no version of SQL Server that officially supports ARM.
Update. SQL Server 2012 SP4 Developer Edition and SQL Server 2014 SP3 Developer Edition also works well on ARM64. Both arch are x86. I installed only SQL Engine and Full Text Search.

Hi
I am using Surface Laptop 7 with Snapdragon Processor- windows 11 arm
I am tyring to install a software Metron by Tesy- a design software but my installation keeps throwing error at MS SQL startup- basically the SQL Service is not starting
SQL TECNE- ERROR 1067
Please see the screenshot and help
Please see the screenshot and help
There is no screenshot, but it should be clear from the thread what the remedy is: Buy a different computer. SQL Server does not run on ARM. With the possible exception from LocalDB.
Hi- I somehow checked various threads sql worked on arm- but the software specific sql is not working.
any workaround? Please help.
screenshot is attached
any workaround? Please help.
Again: Workaround is to get a computer with an x64 processor. SQL Server does not support ARM.
As for the screenshot, you have highlighted an instance of SQL Server Agent for Express Edition. Express Edition does not support SQL Agent.
Is it possible to run this through docker?
please advise
Maybe. I know that people have been able to run SQL Server on Docker when running a Mac with an ARM processor. Whether that works with Surface - I've no idea. You could try, but you need to understand that you are very much out on your own here.
Could you please help on how to run this SQL Server Tecne through docker?
this service needs to run on system for program to install
it throws error 1067 everytime
As I said, you are very much on your own. If you don't feel confident with the process (which may not work anyway), you need to get different hardware.
Will navicat software be of any help for windows on arm?
please recommend

SQL Server can run on ARM64 quite well, but it depends upon your usecase. However, it's not going to work out of the box - the first issue is the installation which will fail on ARM64. The solution to that is to use my scripts that someone here already mentioned: https://github.com/jimm98y/MSSQLEXPRESS-M1-Install
These will workaround the 2 problematic components of the installation that are causing it to fail:
With these out of the way, the SQL installation succeeds.
Next issue after the installation will be in the GUI configuration (at least some part of it). On ARM64, Microsoft compiled mmc.exe for ARM64 (instead of ARM64EC) which means mmc won't be able to load the configuration DLLs. So for instance if you want to enable TCP, you have to do it by manually editing the registry keys: https://github.com/jimm98y/MSSQLEXPRESS-M1-Install/issues/4
Finally, some advanced features such as SQL Replication might not be working - I've never needed them, so I did not investigate the reasons why.
This being said, it's definitely possible to run SQL Server on ARM64 in emulation and for general NET development tasks it works quite well.

I am planning on my next Laptop Upgrade to procure one the new x Elite Processor which run these new ARM CPU architecture the good news is that our ERP is running on X64 CPU architecture via SQL Server since currently SQL is not Arm compatible.
|Processor|Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite 12-core
Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus 10-core|

Yes, that is difficult, since SQL Server does not run on ARM.
You can look at this old thread and the answer from Randolf West: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1298316/sql-server-2022-database-engine-services-failde?comment=answer-1266245&page=2#answers
Thanks you all,
I didnt tell you yet, that I programming in C# WPF so I need to connect from from c# to database .... few weeks ago I used Windows laptop so it was funeasy ... but now its little harder. I am thinking about instal UTM instead of Parallels because I red it support intel version of windows ... but I am new in this ... so I am not sure
![](data:image/svg+xml, %3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' height='64' class='font-weight-bold' style='font: 600 30.11764705882353px "SegoeUI", Arial' width='64'%3E%3Ccircle fill='hsl(211.20000000000002, 61%, 30%)' cx='32' cy='32' r='32' /%3E%3Ctext x='50%25' y='55%25' dominant-baseline='middle' text-anchor='middle' fill='%23FFF' %3EBS%3C/text%3E%3C/svg%3E)
UTM is a hardware emulator rather than virtualization.
virtualization runs the code on the actual hardware directly, thus it has to match. That is visualization virtualizes the O/S.
emulation emulates the hardware also. so runs the code on emulated hardware.
note: SQLIte is probably a better choice than sqlserver localdb, so if you want a desktop app. If you are doing a distributed application, I'd probably use a .net core webapi, and again sqllite might be a good choice.
if you need a real sqlserver, than an azure sql instance might make sense.
I am not sure I understand it in right way … but I need server so more computers can communicate with the database at once and no collision is there … sqlite is a just a database as I understand
SQLite would be do for a local desktop application, yes. If you want to run a server on your ARM MAC, SQL Server may not be your choice. I guess Postgress or MySQL may work.
Or as Bruce has suggested, you spin up a database in Azure. (Yes, while there are some free offers, it will come with a price tag eventually.)
Hi @Shirase
Not able to have a test on Windows 11 pro (arm) on MacBook.
If you are interested in install sql server on MacBook, here is some links that might help:

Azure edge dropped support of arm. You can run an old docker image:
https://hub.docker.com/r/cagrin/azure-sql-edge-arm64
you best bet is a using azure cloud services, or a new database provider.
see
https://www.sqlite.org/index.html
ef options
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/providers/?tabs=dotnet-core-cli
I am thinking about one potentional solution ... What about install UTM instead of Parallels so I can install Windows 10 and on it SqlServer maybe ... what do you think?
It should work.
I still use azure edge in a docker. It’s disappointing that arm support was dropped, but unless you need some missing feature it’s a good dev choice. .
This is old thread that has come back up.
since this thread, docker on arm Mac’s has added support for intel images, so you can run the standard Sqlserver image on arm Macs. Still no solution for arm windows.
