    I'll be a grouch on this: 'taint funny, McGee! (or McGehee...)

    MS SQL Server, which was once not much more than a bad joke, is today one of the great database servers of the world.

    But it is the ONLY one of the majors (DB2, Oracle, Sybase) that can run on only one operating system. Worse, it tends to assume the client is also a Windows server or desktop.

    I knew it was an April Fool gag, but chose to take the point hit with the answer (not very competitive, am I?) Because it just isn't funny, not now that SQL Server really can run with the rest of the pack. As long as its Windows.

    I'm glad SQL Server only runs on Windows platform. Some bozo in our company insisted we install DB2 on Windows, even though we have tons of iSeries servers. Talking about nightmare...:crazy:

    Then again, why not? Windows NT was built with a Hardware Abstraction Layer underneath it, so all you need is a HAL that runs on Solaris machines or whatever plus a version of NT for that hardware, and no code changes would be necessary in SQL? Or am I simplifying things here?

    I found out yesterday that our future is off of SQL Server, because we're headed for Linux for a variety of reasons... including SEAM.

    From that point of view, I'd say the joke's on Microsoft.

    Humor is appreciated, in any case 😉
