SQL Server replication on Linux

  • Article

Applies to: SQL Server - Linux

SQL Server 2017 (14.x) (CU18) and later support SQL Server Replication for instances of SQL Server on Linux.

Configure replication on Linux with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) replication stored procedures.

An instance of SQL Server can participate in any replication role:

  • Publisher
  • Distributor
  • Subscriber

A replication schema can mix and match operating system platforms. For example, a replication schema might include an instance of SQL Server on Linux for publisher and distributor, and the subscribers include instances of SQL Server on Windows as well as Linux.

SQL Server instances on Linux can participate in any type of replication.

  • Transactional
  • Snapshot

For detailed information about replication, see SQL Server Replication.
