  • You can but not natively. You would need to install virtualisation software, something like VMWARE. Then create a virtual windows host server and install SQL on it.

  • Frankly you'd be better off using something that would run natively on a Unix OS (such as MySQL or Oracle)...virtualisation would work, but you'd have to splash out for a Windows license to run inside the virtual machine, and you'd also need to be sure your machine was capable of running a virtual copy of Windows *and* SQL server this way.
