[AccessD] SQL Server (Linux)

[Jim Lawrence]

Thank you for that. I am also tired of my own old 2008 SQL server instance. You have given me some encouragement to go the next step. 

There will probably be a number of features that do not appear to work under Linux but if tradition holds true there is always work-arounds. If I discover any solutions I will post you.

Jim

CentOS 7 and the QuickStart guide to add the repos and run the config was easy as pie. 

This would replace my aging sql server 2008 instance and we would still use our access FE. 

SSRS is not available under Linux and the transaction level backup option on veeam backup and replication doesn’t work on linux so I’m not sure if I’ll stick with it or not since I like periodic transaction log backups. I guess this is a Linux limitation for veeam at the moment
