Brief description of tool

I don't find SQL server as one of the Databases in the windows-latest description: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/win22/20240421.1/images/windows/Windows2022-Readme.md#databases Windows with SQL server is a popular combination; thus, we need to install the SQL server for almost all test runs on Windows.

@laumacirule Thank you for bringing this request/ issue, We will investigate and provide update.

Hi @laumacirule Unfortunately, at the moment we are trying to make the images as light as possible and trying to avoid installing programs and packages that can be easily and quickly added at runtime. Thank you, We are closing this issue.

Hi @hemanthmanga! Thanks for the update! Though it is not what I was looking forward to :) I do disagree with the 'quickly added at runtime' - installing SQL Server takes 3-4min (as noted above), and that is not quick :(
