问题引入

这天老鸟满面春风找到菜鸟：“鸟儿啊，看你最近研究SQL Server On Linux如鱼得水，干得不错啊。不过呢，这是一个张扬个性的年代，要创新，要与众不同，那你怎么在Linux平台对SQL Server做个性化的配置吧？比如，我们数据库文件存放的路径，备份文件存放的路径，排序规则等等”。
“鸟哥，今天心情不错啊，捡到金子啦？得了，这就按您的指示办去”。

问题分析

老鸟这个需求还是很有现实意义的，比如在Windows平台，我们会标准化SQL Server数据库文件存放的路径，定制化排序规则等。比如：mdf文件会存放在D:\DATA\DBName\SQL目录，ldf文件会存放在D:\DATA\DBName\LOG目录下。让我们看看SQL Server On Linux是怎么张扬它的个性化配置的。

个性化配置

在个性化配置之前，让我们来看SQL Server On Linux的默认配置是什么样子。

数据存放位置和排序规则

查看数据库物理文件的存放位置，只需要访问视图sys.master_files，默认排序规则访问视图sys.databases。脚本如下：

USE masterGOSELECT database_name = db_name(database_id) ,file_name = name,physical_name 
FROM sys.master_filesSELECT database_name = name, collation_name 
FROM sys.databases;

查询结果截图如下：

这里必须要吐槽，不吐不快，从SSMS查看数据库的物理位置，有两点很难理解，当然不知道微软后续的发版会不会改善：
Windows是使用反斜线“\”来划分目录结构，而Linux系统使用的是正斜线“/”。
查询出来的结果集目录中会强制添加C：盘地址。
最终的对应关系是：Linux上的/var/opt/mssql/data对应于Windows上的目录C:\var\opt\mssql\data。吐槽截图如下：

个性化配置脚本

在最开始做个性化配置脚本时候，我所有的这些目录是放在/var/opt/mssql/data/这个根目录下，后来发现这种做法有一个很大的坑，后面的“一个深坑”错误处理时会讲到。后来，我把根目录放到/data/下，算是踩过了这个坑。这么大的一个深坑，微软的攻城狮，你出来，我们聊聊，我保证不打残你。

# vim reconfMSSQLOnLinux.sh#!/bin/sh# --------------------------------------------## purpose: # this script is for MSSQL on Linux# reconfiguration.## --------------------------------------------# change mssql-server listen on 1435 from 1433echo "change mssql-server listen port to 1435"/opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf set tcpport 1435# Change the default data directory locationecho "change mssql-server default data directory location"mkdir /data/SQL

执行配置脚本

仔细看这个返回结果，也是在根目录/data/前加了盘符C：，始终觉得怪怪的。最后，输入新的排序规则确认后，一会儿SQL Server就会完成个性化的设置并重启。

# sh reconfMSSQLOnLinux.shchange mssql-server listen port to 1435Applying value '1435' to 'tcpport'.

一个深坑

在最开始测试过程中，所有目录放到根目录/var/opt/mssql/data/下，执行会出现以下异常信息，无法创建tempdb，错误的原因是在C:\data\SQL\目录下不存在tempdb.mdf文件。第一反应是，什么东西啊？C:\data\SQL\tempdb.mdf？我没有配置任何文件放到这个目录啊，还C盘呢？你以为是你的Windows操作系统吗？
最后聪明伶俐，人见人爱，车间车爆胎的菜鸟，大胆猜测，小心求证，终于搞明白了。反过来猜想，估计微软这帮攻城狮只截取了最后两层目录，比如/var/opt/mssql/data/SQL，他们会把/data/SQL做为数据库数据文件的存放目录，实在是令人着急。来看看错误信息:

截个图留恋，证明下：

有了这层意思的精神领会以后，解决问题的方法就So easy了。

# mkdir -p /data/SQL# mkdir -p /data/LOG# chown mssql -R /data# chgrp mssql -R /data

再次重试个性化配置脚本sh reconfMSSQLOnLinux.sh，这次总算成功了，谢天谢地。

打开防火墙

为了让外部客户端SSMS连接重新配置后的实例，请打开防火墙1435端口

[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=1435/tcp --permanentsuccess[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --reloadsuccess

再次检查数据存放位置

重新配置完成后，接下来做如下测试：
创建数据：看看数据库mdf和ldf文件会不会放到/data/SQL和/data/LOG目录下。
备份数据库：看看数据库备份文件会不会放到/data/BACKUP目录。
排序规则检查：检查数据库是否是新的排序规则Chinese_PRC_CI_AS
