Working on a database compatibility tool. So your app works on SQL Server 2022 on-prem, but does it work on Azure SQL DB, AWS RDS, GCP CloudSQL, etc? These cloud flavours have a co…

I really hope so

Same. When I started running 5 years ago, I started with under 1km runs. Slowly built up to 5km runs over a 3 or so years. The hardest bit is getting out bed, once that habit is in…

Do you find yourself in the difficult position of having users who make updates to the database owned by your application? In my experience this happens because the application has…

TLDR; A time traveller, named Besso, came back to push Einstein to formulate his theory General Relativity earlier than he would have done on his own. This accelerated the technolo…

This was my first thought. My guess is the team making the app are all about it's potential and fb are happy to give it a go because of the potential for improved data capture

Reminds me of the castle in Gormenghast

The controller in the top left is for the SNES (sorry). Really nice work though!

Yeah, I like the idea of treating SQL Server like it's just a process and not the entire server. Are you planning to do that in production?

Haha, thanks for your answer Brent. I think you're right about VMs. SQL Server on docker in prod is kind of a thought experiment of mine at the moment. I'd love to hear from anyone…

I'm really interested to know if anyone is doing this, why they chose to do this and how they are getting on with it. I've been thinking about this recently and what would be invol…

I really like AGs but I'm not sure I will love them on Linux. It still feels like it's early days for SQL Server's HA on Linux.

That's a new reason, I like it. Books Online has got better over the years to be fair to it.

I've been doing similar stuff with docker in my CI pipelines. So are you testing your app on Linux SQL Servers and then deploying to Windows SQL Servers? Should be OK...

No, but I am predominantly a SQL Server DBA. I thought people might think that after I posted.

Do those charges include the cost of Windows licenses?

As good as Pacemaker is I don't really like the look of using it to achieve HA for SQL Server. Hopefully this will be better in 2018.

That is a worry. I guess it could depend on the uptake of SQL Server on Linux though.

Yeah, I agree. Each has the odd thing the other doesn't but it is hard to justify the cost of SQL Server over Postgres

Cool, I've seen this mentioned as a potential reason, so it's good to hear of a real-world example

SQL Server 2017 has been announced and the big feature is cross platform. I'm wondering how many Linux people out there would consider running SQL Server on Linux in a production e…
