![]() It all depends on whether you expect SQL Server to actually run on macOS, or if you just want to do most of your work there. ![]() VS Code, Visual Studio, and Azure Data Studio now run natively on the Mac, so that can work for you too in some scenarios. With SQL Server 2017, you can run SQL Server on Linux, and can even host your own docker container without using Windows at all (I am doing this on my Macs right now - and I wrote about it here). The goal of this product is to decrease users trips to the Terminal in order to use. ![]() Something like: tell application 'Terminal' do script 'ex /tmp/test exit' end tell. If you want a double-clickable app you can write an AppleScript which will open Terminal and run your C. It does this by adding a contextual-menu item to the Finder that generates symbolic links to the selected files. If not then you can simply write your pure C program and execute it from within Terminal - a TTY environment for 'pure C'. There is also an IDE from JetBrains called DataGrip and I'm sure others I don't know about. SymbolicLinker is a tiny service that, once installed, allows any user to create symbolic links to files inside the Finder. You can also, of course, RDP to other machines, use SSMS equivalent clients to connect to another SQL Server running on Windows elsewhere, or install a different platform on the Mac ( such as PostgreSQL). (I haven't tested the latter recently, but last time I tried, it was a disaster - gets great reviews as a VM host on Windows, but not very stable on the Mac.) Otherwise you will need to install virtualization software of some sort, where you install Windows in a VM, and install SQL Server there - I use Parallels Desktop, but there is also VMWare Fusion and Oracle VirtualBox. No, SQL Server will not run on macOS (it can run on Apple hardware, if you use Boot Camp and boot natively to Windows).
