If you're a Drupal developer aiming to integrate SQL Server with your Lando environment, Mario Linguito's blog post offers crucial insights. Lando, a Docker-based tool ideal for local development, excels with databases like MySQL, MariaDB, and SQL Server. However, setting up SQL Server isn't straightforward, especially if you're used to MySQL or MariaDB. 

Mario explains that Lando's flexibility comes from its .lando.yml configuration file, which can be tailored to include specific PHP extensions and SQL Server settings. He provides a detailed YAML configuration, walking through necessary steps like installing PHP extensions (sqlsrv and pdo_sqlsrv), automating database imports, and configuring environment variables. 

Despite the complexity, his guide serves as a practical starting point, though he acknowledges it's not a perfect solution. This post is invaluable for those dealing with SQL Server in a Drupal setup, offering a step-by-step approach to navigating Lando's setup challenges .
