Running SQL Server 2022 on a MAC
Option A)
Create a virtual machine either using VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion or
Bootcamp. Install Windows 11 virtual machine and proceed to install SQL Server 2022
developer edition following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdvTb7YKi6Y instructions.
Option B)
Create a Windows 11 virtual machine in Microsoft Azure and proceed to install SQL Server 2022
including management studio as per URL above. It's recommended to select VM Size A2 to keep
costs to the minimum. An A2 VM running 24h per day during an entire month is estimated to
cost 48€ / month so it's recommended to shutdown machine whenever that is not being used
(you can schedule auto-shutdown) since subscription is pay per use basis.
Option C) (recommended option)
Create a SQL Server Azure database through Microsoft Azure Portal. When creating an Azure
database don't forget to select configure Compute + Storage and select Basic (for less
demanding workloads). The estimated cost for this configuration is 4,58€ per month, which
should be displayed on the cost estimator.
You can install Azure Data Studio as alternative to SQL Management studio or just use SQL
Azure Query editor directly through web browser.
Option D)
Install SQL Server on Docker as described at https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/linux/quickstartinstall-connect-docker?view=sql-server-ver15&pivots=cs1-bash.
Then connect remotely using Azure Data Studio either to restore database or to execute
transact SQL as described at https://database.guide/how-to-restore-a-sql-server-database-ona-mac-using-azure-data-studio/.
Import Adventure Works database to Microsoft Azure
Please follow https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-sql/database/databaseimport?view=azuresql&tabs=azure-powershell instructions on how to upload
AdventureWorks.bacpac and AdventureWorksLT.bacpac to the Azure storage. Both files are
available in Moodle Lesson 1 SQL folder.
