Try SQL Server on Fedora

Intro

I will try installing Microsoft SQL Server on Fedora 39 in this time.
After installing, I will try accessing it from my Spring Boot application.

Environments

• Fedora Linux 39(Workstation Edition)
• SQL Server 2022
• openjdk 17.0.9 2023-10-17(Red_Hat-17.0.9.0.9-2)

Installing

According to the document, there is no SQL Server installing for Fedora.
So I will add repositories first.

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/9/mssql-server-2022.repo
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/9/prod.repo

sudo dnf check-update
sudo dnf -y install mssql-server mssql-tools

After installing, I will execute setting up command.

sudo /opt/mssql/bin/sqlservr-setup

Opening the port to accept access from another PC.

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=1433/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Adding "mssql-tools" path into .bashrc.

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

After installing SQL Server, I will also install DBeaver to access it by GUI tool.

sudo rpm -Uvh ./dbeaver-ce-23.3.0-stable.x86_64.rpm

• DBeaver Community

CREATE TABLE users (id bigint identity(1, 1) primary key,
    name varchar(32) not null,
    last_update_date datetimeoffset default current_timestamp AT TIME ZONE 'Tokyo Standard Time');
    go

Access SQL Server from my Spring Boot project

To access SQL Server from my Spring Boot project, I will add Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server.

• Try Spring Boot
• Try Spring Boot 2
• [Spring Boot] Reading spreadsheets with Apache POI

build.gradle

...

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation 'org.apache.poi:poi:5.2.5'
    implementation 'org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:5.2.5'
    implementation 'com.microsoft.sqlserver:mssql-jdbc:12.4.2.jre11'

    developmentOnly 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}

public class UserAccessSample {
    public String accessSample() {

            String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;encrypt=false;database=master;integratedSecurity=false;user=sa;password=PASSWORD";
            Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
            String SQL = "SELECT * FROM users";
            Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);

            while (rs.next()) {
                System.out.println(
                        rs.getInt("id")
                                + ", " + rs.getString("name"));
            }
            return "OK";
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return "NG";
    }
}

Hey Masui I checked for the sqlservr-setup file and it wasn't there. By any chance do you have a copy to send it my way or do you have an idea of where I can find it?

Try " sudo /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf setup "
