SQL with Manoj

Scott Guthrie, Executive Vice President, Cloud and Enterprise Group, Microsoft on March 7, 2016 announced plans to bring SQL Server to Linux. He mentioned that this will enable SQL Server to deliver a consistent data platform across Windows Server and Linux, as well as on-premises and cloud, targeting the availability by mid-2017.

Recently in a Data Driven event Shawn Bice, General Manager, Database Systems Group, Microsoft showcased the capabilities and new features of SQL Server 2016. While demonstrating he gave a glimpse of SQL Server preview version running on Linux, and you can see the version in the snapshot below:
