MS SQL Server 2017 on Linux Has Released

[JaredBusch]

Just tried to install this on Fedora 29. No go because OpenSSL is too new. Not particularly surprised.

For the hell of it, I tried to install the 2019 preview and it installed on Fedora 29 with no package errors.

[JaredBusch]

Whoa!

[scottalanmiller]

That's awesome. SO much easier than on Windows!

Well cannot connect to it yet.

What does netstat -tulpn say?

[JaredBusch]

But MS has never said it is supposed to work on Fedora. I just thought I would try as sometimes things to do work.

netstat -tulpn

-bash: netstat: command not found

Let me install net-tools.

[JaredBusch]

Looks like it is listening.

Firewall is definitely open, right?

Yes, but SELinux was running, as expected. Just disabled and rebooting.

[flaxking]

My first test of it was on Fedora too, no issues, but that was a bit ago on Fedora 27

SQL 2017 will not install on Fedora 29 because it said OpenSSL < 1.something was not available.

Same error.

[jbusch@sql ~]$ sqlcmd -S localhost -U SA -P 'BNA$upport710'
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server : TCP Provider: Error code 0x2746.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server : Client unable to establish connection.

I'm not worried about this working, but I was pleasantly surprised.

[JaredBusch]

exact same VM config with CentOS 7 fails because of CentOS uses and reports memory differently.

KVM settings specified 2048 RAM for both the Fedora 29 system and the CentOS 7 system..

[JaredBusch]

Upped it to 3072 RAM and SQL setup completed normally.

Does it allow odd number processors yet or do I still have to disable one if I don't have an even number?

Even only for licensing, I believe. No change there.
