SQL Server in Docker CREATE INDEX failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: ‘QUOTED_IDENTIFIER’

Question

I have a SQL Server Dockerfile with my import-data.sh importing *.sql files from a sql-data folder. Everything works if I run the *.sql files from a tool like Datagrip but the import fails with this error message when it's ran automatically.

Error message:

Msg 1934, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
CREATE INDEX failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'QUOTED_IDENTIFIER'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or filtered indexes and/or query notifications and/or XML data type methods and/or spatial index operations.

The SQLCMD utility unfortunately defaults to QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF for backwards compatibility reasons. Specify the -I argument so that QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON is used.

/opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -S localhost -U sa -P $SA_PASSWORD -i $file -I
