# Release notes for SQL Server 2022 on Linux

[!INCLUDE [sqlserver2022-linux](../includes/applies-to-version/sqlserver2022-linux.md)]

The following release notes apply to [!INCLUDE [ssSQL22](../includes/sssql22-md.md)] running on Linux. This article is broken into sections for each release. For detailed supportability and known issues, see [SQL Server on Linux: Known issues](sql-server-linux-known-issues.md). Each release links to a support article describing the changes, in addition to the Linux package downloads.

These release notes are specifically for [!INCLUDE [ssSQL22](../includes/sssql22-md.md)] releases. For release notes on other editions, see the following articles:

- [Release notes for SQL Server 2017 on Linux](sql-server-linux-release-notes-2017.md?view=sql-server-ver14&preserve-view=true)
- [Release notes for SQL Server 2019 on Linux](sql-server-linux-release-notes-2019.md?view=sql-server-ver15&preserve-view=true)
- [Release notes for SQL Server 2025 on Linux](sql-server-linux-release-notes-2025.md?view=sql-server-ver17&preserve-view=true)

[!INCLUDE [support-policy](includes/support-policy.md)]

## Supported platforms

[!INCLUDE [linux-supported-platforms-2022](includes/linux-supported-platforms-2022.md)]

## Tools

Most existing client tools that target [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] can seamlessly target [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] running on Linux. Some tools might have a specific version requirement to work well with Linux. For a full list of [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] tools, see [SQL tools overview](../tools/overview-sql-tools.md).

## Release and container tag guidance

- The **mssql-server-is** package isn't supported on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). For more information, see [SQL Server on Linux: Known issues](sql-server-linux-known-issues.md#sql-server-integration-services-ssis).

- Some GDR releases apply only to Windows. These Windows-only GDRs aren't published for Linux, and don't appear in this article.

- Container tags can vary by release. For a list of available tags, see [RHEL](https://mcr.microsoft.com/product/mssql/rhel/server/tags) and [Ubuntu](https://mcr.microsoft.com/product/mssql/server/tags) in the Microsoft Artifact Registry.

## Latest versions for all packages

## How to install updates

When you configure the CU repository (`mssql-server-2022`), you get the latest CU of [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] packages when you perform new installations. If you require Docker container images, see official images for [Microsoft SQL Server on Linux for Docker Engine](https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/mssql-server). For more information about repository configuration, see [Configure repositories for installing and upgrading SQL Server 2025 on Linux](sql-server-linux-change-repo-2025.md).

If you update existing [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] packages, run the appropriate update command for each package to get the latest CU. For specific update instructions for each package, see the following installation guides:

- [Install SQL Server package](sql-server-linux-setup.md#upgrade)
- [Install SQL Server Full-Text Search on Linux](sql-server-linux-setup-full-text-search.md)
- [Install SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) on Linux](sql-server-linux-setup-ssis.md)
- [Install SQL Server 2019 Machine Learning Services (Python and R) on Linux](sql-server-linux-setup-machine-learning.md)
- [Install PolyBase on Linux](../relational-databases/polybase/polybase-linux-setup.md)
- [Install SQL Server Agent on Linux](sql-server-linux-setup-sql-agent.md)
