Usage

Unfortunatelly sqlcmd tool is not available inside the ARM64 version of Azure SQL Edge container¹, that is why this image contains installed PowerShell² with SqlServer³ module and custom version of sqlcmd-arm64⁴.

Now you can use:

• Invoke-SqlCmd from pwsh

or

• /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd

inside ARM64 version of Azure SQL Edge container, tadam.

Update - September 2023

Following Microsoft's announcement⁵, Azure SQL Edge based on ARM64 architecture is retired. Alternatively, it is possible to run SQL 2017/2019/2022 and Azure SQL Edge AMD64 containers on Apple Silicon using Docker Desktop for macOS v4.16+.

Alternative ways - March 2024

According to the article⁶ "Install the SQL Server command-line tools sqlcmd and bcp on Linux" there are both x64 and arm64 architectures of sqlcmd and bcp. These tools are bundled in the mssql-tools18 package (not mssql-tools) and are installed on this image.

Now you can use:

• /opt/mssql-tools18/bin/sqlcmd

and

• /opt/mssql-tools18/bin/bcp

Configuration

Requires the following environment flags:

• ACCEPT_EULA=Y
• MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=
