Free to download, free to redistribute, free to embed, and easy for new developers to use immediately. SQL Server 2008 Express Edition is a free, easy-to-use, lightweight, and embeddable version of SQL Server 2008. SQL Server 2019 Express Edition for Windows.
![]() Microsoft Sql Server Free To DownloadWith the -p option we bind a port on our host machine (in my case on the Mac) to a port in the Container. With the SA_PASSWORD environment variable we set the password for the SA login. In our case we have to accept the EULA to be able to use SQL Server. With the -e option you set an environment variable, on which SQL Server is dependent on. With the –name option we assign a custom name to our Docker Container. If you have multiple SQL Server Containers, you can also bind them to different ports on your host machine to access them independently from each other. Therefore I can directly access the exposed SQL Server Container through the IP address of my Mac on the network. In my case I bind the default SQL Server port of 1433 within the Container to the port 1433 on my Mac. Program for cleaning hard drive macDon’t get me wrong: compared to SQL Server Management Studio, Azure Data Studio is “nice” but… □But hey, I can run it directly on my Mac (without the need of a Windows VM), I can run SQL statements, I have access to Estimated and Actual Execution Plans, and very importantly – it’s extensible. But then I’m again dependent on a Windows VM, which also needs periodically updates, and it would be also a huge overhead to deploy a whole Windows VM just for SQL Server Management Studio…Therefore let’s introduce Azure Data Studio! Azure Data Studio was formerly known as SQL Operations Studio and it is a client application with which you can manage SQL Server – natively on Windows, Linux, and Mac!!!As you can see from the previous picture, I have connected here directly to localhost, because in the last step we have exposed the port 1433 of the Docker Container to our host machine. But how do we access SQL Server? Of course, I can start up a Windows VM, and use SQL Server Management Studio to access SQL Server. Accessing SQL Server on a MacWe have now 2019 up and running in a Docker Container. This just means that you can close your Terminal, and your Docker Container is still running in the background.After you have executed that Docker command, your Docker Container is up and running. ![]() Therefore I have executed in the first step the following command to get the logical file names of our database backup.RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = ‘/var/backups/AdventureWorks2014.bak’And based on that information, let’s perform now the restore of our database.RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks2014 FROM DISK = ‘/var/backups/AdventureWorks2014.bak’MOVE ‘AdventureWorks2014_Data’ TO ‘/var/opt/mssql/data/Adventureworks2014.mdf’,MOVE ‘AdventureWorks2014_Log’ TO ‘/var/opt/mssql/data/Adventureworks2014.ldf’As you can see I’m moving the data and log files into the folder /var/opt/mssql/data. But the destination folders are different as on a Windows-based SQL Server installation, therefore we also have to move our data and log files. Let’s take now our backup of AdventureWorks and copy it into the folder /var/backups of our Docker Container:Docker cp AdventureWorks2014.bak sql2019_ctp2:/var/backups/AdventureWorks2014.bakAfter you have copied the backup file, we can now restore the database. Makes somehow sense…Therefore your Docker installation offers you the command cp with which you can copy a local file into a Docker Container and vice versa. But you can’t do a regular cp command from the Terminal, because that command has no idea about your Docker Container. You can now run natively SQL Server on the Mac, and with the help of Azure Data Studio you can even access SQL Server with a native MacOS application. But with the introduction of Docker, and the SQL Server support for it, it’s now real. SummaryRunning SQL Server natively on a Mac or on Linux was always a huge April fool.
