How to connect Docker with Azure Data Studio? - sql-server

Question

I install docker container on mac(OS X) and install Microsoft SQL 2017 image file on docker.So, I try to connect docker with Azure Data Studio but didn't connect it. Can I connect docker with Azure Data Studio and How to configure it? Please help me, thank a lot.

Answer 1

Use 127.0.0.1,1433 instead of 127.0.0.1:1433
This syntax is what my ASP.NET Core app uses as syntax so I figured MS liked that format for connection strings and such.
This worked for me. Hope it helps.

I was able to run SQL server on MAC using Docker by running it along with the Azure Data Studio.
In order to connect to a server, you need to go to preferences of your Docker settings and increase the Memory allocation from the default of 2GB to minimum 4GB (as SQL server needs min 3.25GB space). Save and restart the docker.
Once restarted, all you need to do is pull the docker image of the sql server and download it. this can be done by below commands on your terminal . FYI, I am using bash commands below:
Command 1:
sudo docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-latest
This will pull the latest vesion docker image and download. Once done, you need to set your SQL authentication on the server for your database. Follow below commands:
Command 2:
sudo docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=<SetYourPasswordHere>' \
-p 1433:1433 --name sql1 \
-d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-latest
This sets your password and uses the port 1433 for SQL server (which is the default port). To confirm if the image has been created and the SQL server is running on docker, execute the below command to check log(s).
Command 3:
docker ps
To check all instances in your history of dockers( i.e. if you already had dockers installed before you are attempting this SQL connection/execution), run the below command and it will give you all the logs of all instances you have created
Command 4:
docker ps -a
or
docker ps -all
Once, you have completed above steps and see that the docker has created SQL instance, you need to go to Azure Data Studio and set the below credentials to access the server that you just created above using Docker.
Server: localhost
Authentication Type: SQL Authentication
Username: sa
Password: <Check Command 2 to see what you entered in the password where it says SetYourPasswordHere>
Hope this helps in your tryst with running SQL server on your MAC. All the Best!

Answer 3

You certainly can connect to a sql server image running in a docker container through azure data studio,
Based on the details mentioned in the question, I'm assuming that you have followed the steps on Microsoft docs for configuring sql server with docker,
The following command is needed to configure and run the SQL Server image docker container:
sudo docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=your-strong-password’ -p 1433:1433 -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-latest;
To quickly verify
check that the image is running by running:
docker ps -a
And checking the status column (with the correct instance name) to be 'UP',
Then launch Azure Data Studio and fill the connection details:
If you have followed all the default settings in setting up the image, this should work for you,
Hope this helps,

I hope first you have installed sql-cli(make sure you have node.js installed in your system),
Then connect to Mssql with command -> mssql -u -p
try to connect/create a database with docker first then connect from Azure Data Studio
