So I'm all set to start playing with SQL on Linux over the weekend, but I first wanted to upgrade my Hyper-V server from 2012R2 to 2016. The reload went smooth, set up the initial virtual network, copied a couple ISOs over, created a Win Server 2012 VM to verify I'd plugged the right NIC port in for the virtual network.
Go to start the VM to load it up and...
Couldn't start the VM as the virtual machine service isn't running.
Go back and check the system requirements for HV2016 and the processors need to support SLAT.
Hmm...
What CPUs are in my machine?
Xeon X7350s
What DON'T those CPUs support?
SLAT...
rassim frazzim flim flam...
So tonight I'll be re-reloading the server back to HV2012 and trying again...

For the second time this year, I successfully got a Linux VM running with SQL Server on it. Last time I just did the install & walked away. This time I'm really kicking the tires. Built a database & a table and ran some queries. Oh, and SQL Prompt hasn't even noticed that I'm not connected to a normal SQL Server instance. I'm not sure where to go from here.An idea for what to do next... Linux VM & Windows VM; same sizes; same host; same dataset; same query load. Which runs SQL faster? Is the LinuxVM version much hampered by the Windows-Linux shim that the naysayers/whingers are naysaying/whingeing about?
Unfortunately, I already know the answer. Linux will be slower. Not a gig on Linux. It's how they ported it with a sort of virtual windows running underneath. That added layer will be slower with everything else being equal.

I have to do some more research on it but it may be time for me to get ready to retire.Once again, the old axiom of "Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not" rings true. Let's hope that they're not really considering replacing it altogether so that we're forced to abandon it in SQL Server.
{EDIT} According to some of the comments for that article, it may be an incorrect article but where there's smoke... and it's not April...
Well, at least it's still available...for now. I'm going to have to figure out how to disable automatic updates on my home laptop before they wreck it completely.

It's in the link there.CREATE OR ALTER (Yes, we heard you !!!) – New CREATE OR ALTER support makes it easier to modify and deploy objects like Stored Procedures, Triggers, User–Defined Functions, and Views. This was one of the highly requested features by developers and SQL Community.
I know it's in the link. But none of that tells me anything.
What is CREATE OR ALTER?
That would be CREATE (if not exists) OR ALTER (if exists), bye bye to all the variations of checking if the object exists, create dummy and alter etc.
😎
And best of all, never again risk losing assigned permissions because I accidentally used DROP / CREATE instead of ALTER for an existing object.
Now I only need to get my client to upgrade a few versions.....
I hope that by "few versions" you don't mean 5 versions. 😀
Lemme check....
2005 ---> 2008 (1)
2008 ---> 2008R2 (2)
2008R2 --> 2012 (3)
2012 --> 2014 (4)
2014 --> 2016 (5)
*cough* Unless I cheat by ignoring all R2 versions, I'm afraid that I actually do mean 5 versions.
You don't have to update version by version. You can go from any 2005+ to latest in one step, using backup/restore (preferred method) or detach/attach. Don't believe me? Check out what Paul Randal says about it here[/url].
If you are on 2000 or earlier, beside my sympathies, you will first need to get up to 2005 in order to do this.

Have you read that xp_cmdshell's fate is also sealed as part of these changes?

That's fair. I'm gearing up for the barrage right now. But IMO Jeff deserves at least a couple for his 'abandon' statement.

I'm old so "it depends" and I've already been punished enough. When I first read the article, I blew coffee out my nose and crapped my britches. At least that left me with a warmer feeling than the article did. :hehe:
