..works?
Started with this thread[^], where Scott Serl[^] says it works. So I tried. And it does 
Lots of you will now say that you already knew that, since you have it as a VM in Azure.
There was some error on not being able to install "mssql-tools" due to a missing dependency. Apt-get that dependency, get a similar message on a new package. Try that, another dependency. After four of those, a Y/n on install, and work your way up through the dependencies. That's the tools (like SqlCmd), Sql Server was already running.
Connection error; so this idiot tried to connect using Windows Authentication 
Try Sql Server authentication and login with sa, new connection error. Quick google teaches me that SqlWb needs to have the (default) port number after the instance name. So, add ",1433" after the instance name, and it connects, acting like a normal Sql Server instance would.
Created a database, created a table, from MS Sql Wb running on a Win10 machine. No additional errors, which must mean I done something wrong. Reboot, and it still works! It's running on not-so-great hardware (hence Linux), but it is still bloody fast (not much other stuff installed). If it works on that machine, then it may work on my Raspberry. Imagine a backup-databaseserver the size of a creditcard. Now all I need to build my own cloud[^] is to get RAID5 working on cheap USB pendrives.
Thank you Microsoft (and Scott)

THIS IS MADNESS!

Just think twice before implementing it.
I would recommend a stripe size equal to the block size of the flash drive.
I would also use non-volatile write-back cache rather than write through.

We are testing MSSQL on Linux since 2016 (betas) and we actually try to convince our customers to make the move...
In manners of performance/hardware ratio it seems to work much better...

MS hardware requirements says it won't work; now looking if I can find Pi-like hardware (in terms of size and price) that contains an x64 processor

I don't know about price, but take a look at pico-itx boards

Or even smaller, mobile-itx

Thanks for the tip.

I've been wanting to do that, but SQL Server on Linux only supported Intel processors (or so I thought) - has that changed?

No, according to the specs you're right; 2+Ghz x64 is required, which the Pi isn't. Would have been fun though

Post it right after the next daily build comes out? That way you have max time for the next one

good call although they do tend to update the main page throughout the day so if i update too early i minimize my coverage there.

If you that worried about the audience, go for a friday and not a monday morning.
If it is good, it will get shared no matter the timing. Stop worrying, hit "publish"

Why worry? The only people who are going to read it are those who are interested in the subject. And the people who are really interested will surely search it out.
