Introduction
SQL Server has been one of the most popular and highest performing database systems for some time. Linux is a popular server operating system and, since SQL Server 2017, you can deploy SQL Server onto a Linux Server.
Suppose you're a database administrator at Wide World Importers, a wholesale company. Wide World Importers exclusively uses Linux on its servers and Linux virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud. You've decided that you can benefit from the functionality of SQL Server.
