We have reached the end of this book, but this is not the end of your journey and your exploration of this new and uncharted area. You are a witness to the creation of a new ecosystem inside the world of Linux that is heavily based on SQL Server on Linux.
This technology is just beginning, and this book is only a quick reference to provide you with a fresh and efficient start. New features will pop up quickly after the final release of SQL Server 2017 and its subversion, SQL Server on Linux. So far, we only have a database engine and integration services. It means that a lot more will come in the future, and this fact is a good thing for this book.
A second version is planned shortly after the final release to fill up the gaps that are missing and things that were not finished in the penultimate phase of development (CTP 1.3 - RC1).
On the other end, I hope that you...
