SQL Server Client on LINUX

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are planning for future systems in 3 tier archicteture

1) Database sqlServer will be on Windows

2) Central Instances(CI) will be on Linux

3) Apps Servers on Linux

is it right approach, some say that SQLServer Client cannot be install on Linux, is it true? if so what is the next approach we can go?

Any Help or Input will be appreciated

Thanks,

Chander

This will not work.

You can use MaxDB on Windows instead - if you want to put your database server on Windows, license costs are less than MS-SQL and server and clients are available for all operating systems. From an administrative point of view maintaining the database is as "easy" as SQL server.

Hello,

If you go to the download area of Marketplace you can see that there is no "kernel" DB dependant elements for SQL Server, only DB2, Informix, Oracle and SAP DB.

Then you cannot have a CI/AS on Linux ( or other UNIX ) connecting to a SQL Server.

Also, you can check <a href="http://service.sap.com/pam">PAM</a> or the notes for released OS( for example note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/service/notes/0407328">0407328 SAP Kernel 6.x MS SQL Server: Released operating systems</a> and you can see that SQL Server is only available for Windows systems.

I never heard of an MS-SQL client on Linux on Unix...

avoid this configuration unless you go with ORacle.

...or MaxDB or DB2 - both have DB clients for Windows.
