Sql Management Studio For Mac Jun 2026

If you’ve recently switched to a Mac or work in a multi-OS environment, you’ve likely realized that — the industry standard for managing Microsoft SQL Server — is strictly a Windows application. There is no official "SSMS for Mac" DMG file to download, and Microsoft has not announced plans for a native macOS version.

For Mac users who need to manage SQL Server databases, we recommend:

docker run -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" -e "MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=YourStrong!Passw0rd" -p 1433:1433 --name sqlserver -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2022-latest

# Pull SQL Server 2022 container (Linux version) docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2022-latest

"Connection refused" Fix: Check Docker container is running: docker ps | grep sqlserver
