    I have the following problem: I am working on an Ubuntu Linux server (I have access only to the shell, no desktop environment) and I have to interact with a Microsoft SQL server to create some tables on a database.

    So what I need is a command line client that, from the shell, allow me to connect to this MS SQL Server DB and interact with it.

    What can I use?

    That link is German. This is the English version: Quickstart: Install SQL Server and create a database on Ubuntu. You may want to see Installing the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server on Linux and macOS also as it is remote server.

    Ok thanks: only one doubt. I have not to install SQL server on my Linux environment. I only have to connect to an external (remote) MS SQL server. So have I just to install the "SQL Server command-line tools"?

    Yes I think so. Just try it. Learning by doing now you have one more step.
