I have a web system developed with PHP + MS Sql Server and I do maintenance on Windows environment. But I prefer working in Linux environment, Ubuntu to be more accurate.
But I cannot find a way to install this database driver. I googled but I cannot find any solution. Some tutorials shows how to install in 20.04, 18.04 versions, but even following the steps to the letter, I could no install.
Some tutorials that did not worked.
Any suggestions?
It seems, at least today, thatmsodbcsql17
mssql-tools
are not available in the Ubuntu 21.04 repos...
$ curl -s https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/21.04/prod.list
deb [arch=amd64,armhf,arm64] https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/21.04/prod hirsute main
$ curl -s https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/21.04/prod/dists/hirsute/Contents-amd64.gz | gzip -d | grep -E "msodbcsql|mssql"
# No output.
As a result you'll get errors when you try to install them viaapt-get
:
$ curl -s https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo bash -c "curl -s https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/21.04/prod.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list"
$ sudo apt-get update --yes
# ...
$ sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get --verbose-versions --yes install msodbcsql17 mssql-tools

Update I have written a bash script to automatically install the appropriate drivers for Ubuntu or Debian: https://github.com/sfinktah/bash/blob/master/add_sqlsrv_repo_combined.sh
I couldn't test support for other Linux vendors, but the capability is there if someone wants to send a PR.
