[!INCLUDE SQL Server - Linux]
This article provides details of features supported by the various editions of SQL Server 2019 on Linux. For editions and supported features of SQL Server on Windows, see SQL Server 2019 - Windows.
Installation requirements vary based on your application needs. The different editions of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] accommodate the unique performance, runtime, and price requirements of organizations and individuals. The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] components that you install also depend on your specific requirements. The following sections help you understand how to make the best choice among the editions and components available in [!INCLUDEssNoVersion].
For the latest release notes and what's new information, see the following:
For a list of SQL Server features not available on Linux, see Unsupported features and services.
[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] editions
[!INCLUDE sql-server-editions]
Use [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] with client/server applications
You can install just the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] client components on a computer that is running client/server applications that connect directly to an instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion]. A client components installation is also a good option if you administer an instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] on a database server, or if you plan to develop [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] applications.
[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] components
SQL Server 2019 on Linux supports the SQL Server database engine. The following table describes the features in the database engine.
| Server components | Description |
|---|---|
| [!INCLUDEssDEnoversion] | [!INCLUDEssDEnoversion] includes the [!INCLUDEssDE], the core service for storing, processing, and securing data, replication, full-text search, tools for managing relational and XML data, and in database analytics integration. |
Developer, Enterprise Core, and Evaluation editions
For features supported by Developer, Enterprise Core, and Evaluation editions, see features listed for the SQL Server Enterprise edition in the following tables.
The Developer edition continues to support only one client for SQL Server Distributed Replay.

| Maximum compute capacity used by a single instance - [!INCLUDEssDEnoversion]1 | Operating system maximum | Limited to lesser of 4 sockets or 24 cores | Limited to lesser of 4 sockets or 16 cores | Limited to lesser of 1 socket or 4 cores |
| Maximum compute capacity used by a single instance - [!INCLUDEssASnoversion] or [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] | Operating system maximum | Limited to lesser of 4 sockets or 24 cores | Limited to lesser of 4 sockets or 16 cores | Limited to lesser of 1 socket or 4 cores |
| Maximum memory for buffer pool per instance of [!INCLUDEssDEnoversion] | Operating System Maximum | 128 GB | 64 GB | 1410 MB |
| Maximum capacity for buffer pool extension per instance of [!INCLUDEssDEnoversion] | 32 * (max server memory configuration) | 4 * (max server memory configuration) | N/A | N/A |
| Maximum memory for Columnstore segment cache per instance of [!INCLUDEssDEnoversion] | Unlimited memory | 32 GB | 16 GB | 352 MB |

| Maximum relational database size | 524 PB | 524 PB | 524 PB | 10 GB |
1 Enterprise edition with Server + Client Access License (CAL) based licensing (not available for new agreements) is limited to a maximum of 20 cores per SQL Server instance. There are no limits under the Core-based Server Licensing model. For more information, see Compute capacity limits by edition of SQL Server.

1 In-Memory OLTP data size and Columnstore segment cache are limited to the amount of memory specified by edition in the Scale Limits section. The max degree of parallelism is limited. The degree of process parallelism (DOP) for an index build is limited to 2 DOP for the Standard edition and 1 DOP for the Web and Express editions. This refers to columnstore indexes created over disk-based tables and memory-optimized tables.
