This chapter will be an exciting ride through the rest of the different features and tools that can be used in the current state of SQL Server development. As I mentioned in the beginning of Chapter 1, Linux Distributions, SQL Server on Linux has just started landing on the Linux planet, and you can definitely expect many improvements in the near future.
This book will probably go out before the final release, so keep that in mind as you read. However, the important thing is that this reference will provide you with more than enough information to quickly start with testing, development, and production without having to read books with more than 500 pages.
Here is the list of the closing topics that we will take a look at in this chapter:
- Query store (feature)
- Temporal tables (feature)
- mssql-scripter (tool)
- DBFS tool (tool)
- DBeaver (third-party tool)
