Linux 是微軟視窗 Windows 的死對頭。微軟向來打擊 Linux 不遺餘力。現在，微軟 porting SQL Server to Linux，等於是認輸。這是一個標竿－－Linux 的路越來越寬，微軟的路越來越窄； 從事電腦軟體行業的看官，該知道選哪條路，怎麼走。
歡迎發問。
Microsoft is porting SQL Server to Linux
Microsoft is making available a private preview of SQL Server for Linux, and plans to make the product generally available by mid-2017.

Microsoft is porting SQL Server to Linux and is making a private preview of it available to testers today, March 7.
Microsoft s plan is to make SQL Server generally available on Linux by mid-2017, said Scott Guthrie, head of Microsoft s Cloud & Enterprise business, in a blog post announcing the news. The company will offer both on-premises and cloud versions of the product.

Guthrie s blog post mentions that SQL Server on Linux will include the Stretch Database capabilities that Microsoft is building into SQL Server 2016. It doesn t specify which other SQL Server 2016 technologies will and won t be in the Linux version.
Paul Cormier, President of Products and Technologies for Red Hat says that Red Hat will be offering SQL Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical, also is quoted as saying that Ubuntu developers will be able to build on SQL Server.
A spokesperson told me: "Today, the private preview supports Ubuntu and we intend to support Red Hat Enterprise Linux as well as other platforms over time." The spokesperson also acknowledged that Microsoft won t be bringing all of the same capabilities in SQL Server 2016 to Linux; it will be just the "core relational database capabilities."
It was just last November that Microsoft and Red Hat signed a long-awaited deal to bring Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Azure. Microsoft also offers the Ubuntu, CentOS, Oracle Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE, distributions hosted on Azure.
Microsoft is still working to finalize its SQL Server 2016 release. It s at the near-final Release Candidate stage at the moment, and is slated for general availability later this year.
Some folks are asking what s next to go Linux. Could it be SharePoint Server or Exchange Server? At least one analyst told the New York Times he doesn t see why not.
