Description
I was using these install instructions, expecting that copy/paste would just work. it did not:
- The default password fails to start SqlCmd: SA_PASSWORD=yourStrong(!)Password
- It also disable copy/paste for all the other commands, and the program
- This command does not work due to the word DATABASE (it works if you omit it):
sqlcmd -S localhost -U sa -P my!pwd1 -Q "USE DATABASE SampleDB; INSERT INTO Employees (Name, Location) VALUES (N'Jared', N'Australia'), (N'Nikita', N'India'), (N'Tom', N'Germany');"

Research direction
Start with the linked Microsoft SQL Server Python/Mac installation instructions and reproduce the Docker, SA_PASSWORD, and sqlcmd examples shown in the report. Verify that the documented password works, commands remain copyable, and the SampleDB INSERT command runs without the invalid DATABASE wording.
