there is an animal that once looked very much like SQL Server (could be an identical twin). it does run on your favorite flavor of Unix and Linux. it's called Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise :o)

On which unix boxes does SQL Server work? I don't want to replace all of my AIX, HP-UX and Solaris boxes with NT. I'll consider SQL Server as a replacement as soon as it starts operating on Unix. Microsoft operating systems have spurned the whole industry trying to protect them from viruses, which makes them completely unsuitable for a central database of a Fortune 500 company. Does SQL Server work on Linux?

FYI One of my friends at Microsoft, (yes I must to confess, I have friends at MS) gave me a "present", it's a 4 cd's kit called "SQL Server 2000 for the Oracle Customer", the kit consist in 4 cd's with demos, docs, presentations, videos and a lot of stuff showing why sql server is a better option as a DB instead oracle, contains price lists, performance evaluation and many other "information", maybe you'd like to spend some of your time giving Billy a chance to defend his product. The 4 cd's are available (almost completely) as links in:

Any comments?
