    Hello Masters,

    Is it possible to install sql server on Unix\Linux platform ? Is MS SQL server supporting those platforms ?

    Thanks in advance.

    No. If you're going to use linux, you should probably look into MySql. You can connected from linux to a MSSQL server though.

    Thanx Abel for quick reply. So we can not install MSSQL on linux\unix platform but we can access MSSQL from linux\unix platform. Am I correct ?

    MSSQL is a Microsoft product, and can only be installed on a Microsoft operating system.

    You can install MySQL on Linux and use the MySQL Data Controller to connect to a MSSQL server.

    PostgreSQL is the way to go IMO if your going open source

    Of course, if you were willing to pay for MSSQL, you could also look at Oracle or DB2 which both work on Linux 🙂

    Sounds like you got a pretty good deal then. I haven't seen them do anything with less than 5 consultants and they won't even help spell it.
