Microsoft Brings SQL Server To Linux (betanews.com)
Mark Wilson writes: The new Microsoft has place an increased importance on the cloud, and with other companies following suit, reliance on server solutions has increased. Today the company announces that it is bringing SQL Server to Linux. Both cloud and on-premises versions will be available, and the news has been welcomed by the likes of Red Hat and Canonical. Although the Linux port of SQL Server is not due to make an appearance until the middle of next year, a private preview version is being available to testers starting today. While the full launch of SQL Server for Linux is not due until the middle of 2017, SQL Server 2016 is expected to launch later this year.
BS. Performance is shit. Also a permanent deadlock of everything, even seemingly unrelated stuff. Both cached and dynamic queries regularly going off the deep end. Despite MS going around and taking down bad reviews, what few online reviews survive attest that MSSQL is comlete and utter garbage. As someone who is forced to use it on a daily basis I can attest that they have a point.
