SQL Server on Linux

A comprehensive collection of scripts, demos, and resources for deploying, configuring, and managing SQL Server on Linux environments.

📋 Overview

This repository contains practical examples and scripts for working with SQL Server on Linux, covering everything from basic installation to advanced high availability configurations. All content is designed for hands-on learning and real-world deployment scenarios.

📁 Repository Structure

Demos

Interactive demonstration scripts that walk through various SQL Server on Linux scenarios step by step:

  • 1.RunningSqlOnLinux.sh - Complete installation and basic configuration of SQL Server on Ubuntu Linux
  • 2.SqlHighAvailabilityOnLinux.sh - Setting up and managing SQL Server Always On Availability Groups with Pacemaker clustering
  • 3.RunningSqlInDocker.sh - Deploying SQL Server containers using Docker

Scripts

Automation and utility scripts for common SQL Server on Linux operations:

  • CreatePacemakerAgCluster.sh - Setup of a three-node Pacemaker cluster for SQL Server Availability Groups
  • SetupAdAuthenticationSqlOnLinux.sh - Configure Active Directory authentication for SQL Server on Linux
  • RunningSqlwithSqlCmd.sh - Examples of using sqlcmd to connect and manage SQL Server instances
  • ManualAgFailover.sql - SQL scripts for manual failover operations in Availability Groups
  • 4.ChaosEngineering.sh - Chaos engineering scenarios for testing SQL Server resilience

🎯 Key Features Covered
