I have been a Microsoft developer since 194 (Dos, then Windows). I purchased as Mac Mini M$ 2 weeks agoand I love this little toy.
I added a 2TG SSD to it, and that is now my home directory so space is no issue.
I have downloaded vsCode, Zed and Rider as develop editors (I am a C# dev).
My only issue now is a database similar to MS SQL to put on it.
I saw lots of posts about putting SQL on Docker, but that means I need to put windows on it as well, and I am trying to do everything native Mac OS(15.3 currently).
Does anyone have any suggestions (Besides MySQL) that will run natively similar to Ms SQL?

Thank in Advance.

    Mmm, answer is going to depend on the nature of the application. Do you ned a drop-in replacement for MSSQL? That could potentially be tricky. Postgre is really your only other free realtional db option if you're dead set against MySQL (unless you count one of the mysql forks like MariaDB or Percona.) If it's not a heavy application you could potentially consider just using SQLite. 

    Is the aversion against having to install windows on a docker container to get mssql, or having to use dcoker at all?
