[@RobRitchie-bs1ql]

You know what - in spite not being a tutorial, it's a fairly good tutorial on what it takes to get this thing running. Thanks for posting this Alex.

[@TalynOne]

If you run SQL Server Management Studio as Administrator (right click run as admin on the shortcut) it will work for windows authentication login, no need to create a new account, also it requires an additional registry addition (found it github issue discussion) to enable TCP connections from code. Once you have it running once you can create SA or other regular SQL account for future logins.

[@Z3rgatul]

This ^ If you start process without "Run as admin", your security token has no local administrator group And SQL server checks if your token has this group

[@CrisDevDotDot]

@@Z3rgatul omg omule mersi !!

[@emilfabrice]

No Windows machine with ARM (and not installing SQL just for the purpose of testing) but I was wondering why doing the whole logout-shenigans? If account is in admjnistrators, just right click to "run as administrator"?

[@ZhuJo99]

That's funny. Running Microsoft SQL server in a Mac is easier than in Windows 🤣

[@mojizze]

Not really. He would have gotten similar results if he used the docker version on Windows. Lol

[@MaavBR]

@@mojizze He would not. You can't load an AMD64 image on Docker for Windows on ARM. This works on Apple Silicon, however.

[@xBINARYGODx]

@@MaavBR the op is still entirely wrong because running it in Windows, even if only trye on x64, is the easiest - the newer arm windows being a bit behind the much less new mac on arm, is actually not really surprising even if it makes good memes.

[@MaavBR]

@@xBINARYGODx Windows on ARM is older than macOS on ARM. We've had Windows RT on the Windows 8 days, and Windows 10 had a full ARM release way before Apple Silicon was even announced. Besides, the fact that you have to go through this many hoops to get it running on Windows on ARM with Microsoft knowing how prominent ARM has become in the datacenter space in the last few years (plus themselves pushing ARM PCs now) is ridiculous. Just like with Apple, at the very least their entire first-party software library should run on ARM on release (even if through a translation layer for some apps).

[@dinbandhusharma4568]

This is the most entertaining channel for developers ) I, myself, working as an architect and mostly nowadays doing development in 'read-only' mode, but looking at you is both entertaining and much more helpful, than watching those tech KZbinrs mostly concerned with video editing

[@Dalamain]

Alex at some point in the future it would be worth updating the video title so others wanting to run SQL Server on ARM can find it, great video man!

[@JoeBurnett]

I love the ARM platform. My favorite videos of yours are where you're using your Apple Silicon Mac and Parallels to run apps on Windows 11. I've been using my M2 Max MacBook Pro and Parallels 19 to use Windows 11 and have found the performance phenomenal! Oh, and I could never give one of your videos a thumbs down!

You're one intelligent dude figuring all this out 😂 99.1% of it flew over my head 😭😂

[@CraigCruden]

Never used SQL Server, but I am glad that I have been able to run both Postgres and Oracle RDBMS (via VMWare/Oracle Linux ARM/Oracle RDBMS ARM)

[@SlyEcho]

Docker Desktop on macOS runs an Arm Linux virtual machine to run the containers and inside it it is using Rosetta, the Linux version

[@dinbandhusharma4568]

The way you solve the administrator problem access is amazing 🔥

[@matthewblott]

What's amusing to me watching this is I remember migrating MSSQL from Windows to Linux as soon as it was viable a few years ago and being amazed at how much easier it is to run on Linux!

[@mohammedmudassirshaikh557]

Thank you for showing this. Finally some way to run SQL Server stuff on Arm! I am still going to stick with x86 until MS supports (optimizes it to run) on ARM.

[@mponiedzialek]

Microsoft released SQL Edge which had support for ARM processors but for some reason they abandoned it in last year

[@prnva_]

Really like these videos Alex!

[@garynagle3093]

I felt your pain. So glad this works.

[@galvesribeiro]

Just FYI - there is a version of SQL Server which run on ARM natively which is the Azure SQL Edge. You can install from a container.

[@alfajrdream]

love to watch your videos. super content. keep going.

[@Unizuka]

That login sequence is very relatable haha, I had a problem with json decoding in flutter, a silly problem wasted 2 days of my life, i want to break something because of it thankfully nothing was broken, I managed to fix it by mistake and i am still not sure how it got fixed and why it happened

[@petrzurek5713]

Now that it is half-ass working, people are gonna complain endlessly until it works “natively”, I’d call it a good start

[@mudianyikevin7470]

Hi, we gonna need a proper tutorial for that. This was too fast for me. I wanted to get me a snapdragon laptop but wasn't sure it would run sql and ssms. Good thing i am subscribed to your channel

[@xiLeMaNiK]

Hi Alex, found your channel over the last year and I love the content you put out. One thing I'd like to see is an example of x86 code and the equivalent arm64 code for the same function, with some explanation on the differences. This talk of "translation layers" (Rosetta 2 on Mac) has me curious what's actually going on under the hood.

[@weinbergfahrer4048]

Thank you for your unwavering optimism - and bringing us little nuggets like this so frequently! Would you consider it safe to move one's work as a dev to Windows on Arm at this time - or better wait for another six to twelve months?

[@xBINARYGODx]

the newer Intel and even AMD processors that are finally, actually mobile parts are what might be worth waiting for - maybe get arm like battery life with as good or better performance and never have to worry about compatibility.

[@spdrasr007]

It's going to be interesting to see the new Intel processors. If they are even close to what they are being advertised as then it kind of kills the need for Snapdragons. Unless, they are going to be much more expensive. Looking forward to watching your reviews. Hopefully you'll get the Lenovo 7i.

[@fshtank]

MS SQL is the DB I ‘grew up’ on (as it were) I’ve used Oracle, Sybase, Mongo, MySQL/Maria, PostgreSQL … SQL Server / TSQL is my favorite hands down

[@bamqadem]

Thanks, Alex, for the good news. Did you try setting Encryption to Optional under Connection Security while logging into the SQL Server? It will accept your normal Windows user.

[@robertbutscher6824]

Great video, one month ago I failed in configuring sql server on Arm, i used the same script.

[@templarbr]

When using windows authentication qith Sql server management studio or azure data studio on windows, you can launch a process with runas command line or shift+right click over the target application shortcut, a prompt will appear, then introduce local account into it. .\local-username or full computer name. 😎

Great video, is it possible to run SSAS in such an environment? I‘m not sure, wether MS Data Tools will work in an Arm environment. Visual studio runs on Arm, but not the SSAS template. I think it‘s less stressful to use an ssql instance on Azure, isn‘t it.

[@AZisk]

depending on your situation, azure might be a better option.

[@robertbutscher6824]

Thanks, Alex ❤ your channel

[@francis.creation]

Humm, been using SQL Server on M1 for years. My dotnet integration test will automatically execute a docker-compose for initializing all the dependencies including the SQL server, and execute the migration script (table, sp, lookup data, etc), then run the test using the triple-A pattern. After the integration tests are completed, the SQL server instance is left intact. The reason I didn't tear down the data is if I need to inspect the data created by test results or use it as sample data for API I don't need to manually create it. On the succeeding run, the migration is no longer executed but tear down the data instead from the previous run before running the tests again. This same identical workflow is also performed in the CI pipeline.f

[@seenukarthi]

@@paulh6933 it’s something to do with the kernel version in the latest docker. In macOS now you can run x64 containers in Rosetta 2

[@theontologist]

Ditto. My used Azure SQL Edge containers often fail to relaunch after stopping them, and sometimes I have to create a couple fresh containers before they work at all. I keep my data in a Docker volume that I aggressively back up. I wish I could keep the data in a volumized folder on my host Mac OS, but Docker on the Mac seems to handle host directory-based volumes poorly.

Ok, couple of things. I've lost count the number of times I heard "Sequel Server" confused with "MY SEQUEL" due to the perceived interpolation of the short-tags "SQL" and "SEQUEL". Sequel is a Structured Query Language, there are others - like TSQL (which MS SQL Server supports). This is fine, when you speak in a group of data nerds - just not good practice in an instructional context. Running this bloated pile of garbage on ARM is just a waste of time - just use an Azure instance and be done with it. I can honestly say I would rather work as a Walmart greeter than interact with MS SQL Server in any context.
