Description
Currently, SQL Server Language Extensions only support .NET on Windows, whereas the other backends do run on Linux. We currently ship a feature that leverages the .NET language extensions, but see growing appetite amongst customers to move to SQL Server on Linux, which we thus cannot support.
Are there any fundamental technical constraints that prevent this? I would assume that since we are leveraging .NET as opposed to .NET Framework (as in the SQL Server assembly feature), this should be feasible in a fairly straightforward manner.
Would changes need to be done on SQL Server itself to support this? Or would it be limited to the .NET language extensions assembly provided here?
Thank you for any insights.
