Steve Jones shows how to upgrade SQL Server on Linux to the latest version:
I saw this week that there was a new CTP (v1.3) of SQL Server v.Next. I haven’t had a lot of time to work on the Linux version lately, but I thought I’d try and see how well the upgrade went.
There’s an install and upgrade page at Microsoft you can use, but on Ubuntu, things are easy. First, connect to your system and run this:
sudo apt-get updateThat will download updated packages and get the system ready. you can see that I have a lot of stuff to update on this particular system.
One small change I’d make to that script in the snippet is sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. They do different things, both of which are useful. I do hope that Microsoft keeps with the Linux-friendly upgrade process when it comes to CUs and SPs.
