Mar 06, 2018 Hello, SQL Server database engine is available for Windows and Linux OS, but not for Mac. You can use a Windows VM or Docker Container to run SQL Server.
This is made possible by running SQL Server from a Docker container. Therefore, there's no need to install a virtual machine with Windows (which was the only way to run SQL Server on a Mac prior to SQL Server 2017). Install and Configure Docker. This is a prerequisite for installing SQL Server on your Mac. I got the backup running by installing it on a SQL Server Express database on a nearby Windows computer in my office. I can see that the DB is working if I connect to it using SQL Server Management Studio on that computer. However, I have so far not been able to connect to it from my Mac, which is were I plan to do most of my development. Jun 29, 2016 I am having trouble connecting to a SQL Server via the new Excel 2016 for Mac SQL Server ODBC New Database Query feature. I tried to follow the Office Support info available on this link: Breaking. Excel 2016 for Mac SQL Server ODBC issues with connecting to SQL Server.
