WARNING
Microsoft supports running Microsoft SQL Server on Linux. However, SQL Server on Linux does not provide full functional equivalence with SQL Server on Windows. Some components and functionalities of SQL Server specific to Windows are not available or are limited on Linux. Therefore, PANTHEON is supported only on Microsoft SQL Server running on Windows operating systems.
