My question is if exists a Sql Server Version that is possible to install on Unix, Linux, AIX, UX? and how can I get it.
Thank for any help.

I wish, but no. The threading models are vastly different and Microsoft has declined to rewrite it for a *Nix.
You can run Windows under VMWare or another virtualization technology and install it.

I concur with Steve's wish that they would release a version for Linux, but I don't see that happening. Until then, if you do not wish to use virtualization, you may wish to look at MySQL which has similar but not identical functionality and works nicely with Linux.

I have heard of people playing with SQL Server under Wine, but do not know if everything worked. One thing is definitely certain - if you get SQL Server running on anything other than Windows, you get zero support from Microsoft.
