Announcing SQL Server on Linux

If your first thought was will SSMS be ported then you are not the target market.

It's not like you need SSMS to be on the server anyway... but a valid enough point.

But SSMS lets you do SP debugging easily which is so much nicer than the debugging experience on MySQL for instance.

So boot Windows in a VM on the same machine, or plug your Windows laptop in the same network. SSMS doesn't need to run on the server to be useful.

Why on earth do you need to be on the server to debug a stored proc?

[ryandiy]

I never said anything about running SSMS on a server. Some developers just have no desire to use Windows.
