[slightly off-topic] I'm wondering if this will extend to SQL Server Management Studio. While I'm mainly a command line basher, many of coworkers are married to the GUI. I've found SSMS blows the competition out of the water when it comes to DB management GUIs. I'm wondering if this means SSMS will run on Linux (or Mac) eventually.
This is certainly very big news. I wouldn't be shocked to some day see Windows itself running on the Linux Kernel. Meet, how can we help strengthen the story for MSSQL-Django? It seems we have a chicken and egg problem here. A very small amount of Django sites use SQL Server, but is that because of the difficulty in the available stack and confusion over options? Would usage increase if provided in core? On Monday, March 7, 2016 at 6:03:29 PM UTC-5, Josh Smeaton wrote: > > Wow, that's really great news!
