Hi Experts,
Is it possible to install Sqlserver database in unix machine. If yes which sql versions are supporting unix machine ? shall we install it in all unix flaour like IBM Aix Unix ?
If not , Why microsoft is not thinking about it ? Because i came to know that the sybase database can be installed in windows , unix and linux.
Inputs are Welcome !
Regards
Karthik

Short answer: No
Long answer: Why would you want to? If you're running an O/S other than Windows there are plenty of alternatives to SQL Server, ranging from MySQL to Oracle...
In my opinion SQL Server is the best database currently available for the Windows platform for many reasons - but as soon as you cross over to other platforms or need to run cross platform, SQL Server is no longer the best choice by a long shot.

By the way, some time ago there were "announcements" from Microsoft that appeared here and elsewhere that MS would be porting SQL Server to Linux - please note the date carefully should someone point out one of those "announcements" to you.

Search for SQL Server Linux on google and it will show up. Please note the date on the "announcement", 4/1/2005 - April fools.
