How can I create named-instance of Microsoft SQL Server on Ubuntu

Question

I used the official tutorial to create a default instance https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-setup-ubuntu

but now I want to create a named-instance and can't find how to do that

Answer 1

SQL Server on Linux doesn't support the notion of "multi-instance", so there are no named instances on Linux.

You can see that its Windows only feature here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/work-with-multiple-versions-and-instances-of-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15
