How to get started developing applications for SQL Server on Linux

[!INCLUDE SQL Server - Linux]

You can create applications that connect to and use [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] on Linux from various programming languages, such as C#, Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby, and C++. You can also use popular web frameworks and Object Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks.

Tip

These same development options also enable you to target [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] on other platforms. Applications can target [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] running on-premises or in the cloud, on Linux, Windows, or Docker on macOS. Or you can target Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse Analytics.

Try the tutorials

The best way to get started and build applications with [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] is to try it out for yourself.

  • Browse to SQL Data Developer.
  • Select your language and development platform.
  • Try the code samples.

Tip

If you want to develop for [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] on Docker, take a look at the macOS tutorials.

Create new applications

If you're creating a new application, refer to the Connectivity libraries and frameworks for Microsoft SQL Server, for a summary of the connectors and popular frameworks available for various programming languages.

Use existing applications

If you have an existing database application, you can change its connection string to target [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] on Linux. For more information, see SQL Server on Linux: Known issues.

Use existing SQL tools on Windows with SQL Server on Linux

Tools that currently run on Windows such as SSMS, SSDT, and PowerShell, also work with [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] on Linux. Although they don't run natively on Linux, you can still manage remote [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] instances on Linux.

See the following articles for more information:

Note

Make sure that you're using the latest versions of these tools for the best experience.

Use new SQL tools for Linux

You can use the mssql extension for Visual Studio Code on Linux, macOS, and Windows. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see the following tutorial:

You can also use command-line tools that are native for Linux. These tools include the following:
