Can I run microsoft sql server on my archlinux box?

One of our office programs is showing its age, and I am looking at upgrading. Unfortunately, they have changed their approach and it now requires a microsoft sql server. Is there a way to run that on my arch server, through vmware or something like that? I don't want to invest in a separate windows box just for this one program.
No, there isn't an open source alternative. I've looked.

You may try using Sybase ASE; for long time (until 6.0), MS SQL Server was just Sybase with MS branding and even today differences are not so big (depending, of course, on specific application's needs). I have never tried such a setup, but connecting to MSSQL with Sybase client libraries works OK, maybe you'd have luck in opposite direction.
There is a document on migrating apps from MSSQL to ASE; I know this is not the case, but there are some valuable information about differences between those RDBMSs that may help you to decide whether there are chances to succeed or not.

Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database"

Hi, Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" ?
When I use Connect Object Explorer, the "Connect to Server" dialog box which pops up has only 4 selections in the Server Type Drop Down List. They are Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services & Integration Services. I have read
somewhere that there should be a compact database option. but I do not see it.
What I would like to do is use free form SQL Queries against the tables in "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" .
Once I have validated these queries, then I will use them in my Visual Studio 2012 C#, ASP.NET application. I created the Local Database using Visual Studio 2012 for use by my application.
Thank you for your help..

Hello,
With SSMS 2005 we have had the Option to work with SQL CE database files, but not with higher Version of SSMS.
You can use the free SQL CE Toolbax instead; see

Boot Camp or Parrarels to Run Microsoft SQL Server in MBP

Hi i have this question for you all mac expert here.
I'm a switcher , My MBP is my first apple product that i buy (except of few ipods of course :P ) ,
Anyway i really glad that i made the switch, everything is simple and easy to learn especially with mac user forum like this, every problem that i met are solved easilly (except the part taht i still can't figuree out how to use iphoto :P )
Anyway i use my MBP mainly at home for surfing the net, keeping photos and music, and editing photos and videos.
However i'm gonna set up a bussines now , and it uses Microsoft SQL Server for the stock data and finance accounting, my bussines is quite small, and the network consist of 1 Win XP PC at warehouse , 1 Win XP PC at cashier, 1 Wirelles router to connect all of the computer to a network harddrive where the data for the microsoft SQL server is stored.
However I need another Win XP PC/notebook in my office to connect to the network, but since i have my MBP, i think "why should i buy another WinXP PC/notebook?"
Okay so i searched the forums about WIn XP on MAc, and found Boot Camp and Parrarels, but i still can't decide which one to use or better for my needs.
my needs is simply to run the **** Microsoft SQL Server on my MBP and connect it to the rest of the network.
I read some post before that the parrarels didn't support networking yet, is that true ?
If that;s true, that's mean i shoud go for boot camp instead, but i don't like the idea that i must restart my MBP to get to WinXP , and that's also mean that about 8 hours a day i'll fix my eyes to that ugly interface again
can anyone give me any solutions?
First of all Thank you very much.
and sorry for my broken english :P

Since your software is custom made I won't be able to tell you what you'll need on your system. However, the purpose of having a database on a network is so that multiple computers can access the same database. That's what SQL Server does; it stores and shares the one database to other computers on the network. A "front end" application such as Microsoft Access or even a web browser is typically used to connect to the SQL Server.
I suspect that what you're calling SQL Server is actually just the front end application, which is why I was confused.
Regardless, if you'll be using your MBP to connect across the network to the database then you'll be fine using either Boot Camp or Parallels. I would recommend Parallels simply because it is currently supported (Apple is not yet officially supporting Boot Camp) and Boot Camp only allows you to run Windows or Mac OS X one at a time. Parallels is worth the price for the capability of using both systems at once.
Keep in mind that you'll have to purchase a copy of Windows for your MBP as well.
Hope this helps! bill

How can i load microsoft SQL Server driver in the classpath ?

Hi
i need to have microsoft SQL Server driver in the classpath , how can i do that to run the following code :
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
Class.forName(driver);
with best regards

Just as information, if you need to load a JDBC driver dynamically without previously knowing its name (meaning you can't add it to the classpath manually in your startup batch), the following will not work:
// register the SQL driver as necessary
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
// connect to the DB by using the driver.
String connString = "my_dbserver:1433;databasename=my_database";
String strDBConnect = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://" + connString;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(strDBConnect, userName, passwd);
This is because the DriverManager.getConnection checks if the loaded class was loaded by the same class loader than itself. And for dynamic scenarios, you need a new classloader for the new classes.
Above, the class will be loaded correctly, but getConnection will fail.
This behaviour costed me several hours while developing a dialog for adding drivers dynamically, until I saw the reason.
But a solution has been posted in the forums, which goes like this:
// jdbcLoader is my individual class loader, you can construct it with the driver url
Class driverClass = Class.forName(driverName, true, jdbcLoader);
currDriver = (Driver)driverClass.newInstance();
// problem: classes which were loaded in custom class loader are not recognized by DriverManager. So the following would fail:
// conn = DriverManager.getConnection(...)
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty("user", (String)paras.get("youruser");
prop.setProperty("password", (String)paras.get("yourpwd");
conn = currDriver.connect((String)paras.get("yourURL", prop); // this one works for all classloaders
But in your case, it seems to be enough to add the file manually, as was described in previous replies...

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Dear Sir,
Where can I download Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
to be used with SQL Server 2012 Express using windows 8.1?
I have tried /www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
But the available download for 64 bits is Microsoft SQL server management Studio 2008.
When I try to install it I get an error of incompatibility with w8.1.
Regards,
Hector Rovira

Hi HRovira,
According to your description, before you install SQL Server on a computer that is running Windows 8.1 , as other post, you must apply SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 or a later update. For installing SQL Server 2012, you should enable .NET Framework 3.5,
There is detail about how to install SQL Server 2012 on Windows 8.1, you can review the following article.
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/47548d/how-to-install-sql-server-2012-on-windows-8-1/
To obtain SQL Server 2012 SP1, go to the following Microsoft website:

Microsoft SQL Server

Hello, and thanks for having a look at this question.
I am developing a dynamic website which will eventually be
hosted on a customer's intranet. They have informed me that they
can only provide a Microsoft SQL Server 2005, IIS 6, Microsoft
Server 2003 (SP2) environment for the data. We are about to install
our own Test Server to proof our site as it develops prior to
installing completed content with the client. Now I'm new to all
this and would be very grateful for any experience which can be
passed on!
Two questions immediately spring to mind:
Does anyone know of any good guidance/information on
connecting to a Microsoft SQL Server from Dreamweaver CS4? There is
plenty of support and guidance for using MySQL but almost nothing
on the Microsoft SQL Server.
Must we exactly replicate the Client environment or can we
implement Microsoft SQL Server 2008, IIS 7, Microsoft Server 2008
on our Test Server and confidently 'install' the website/data in
the Client environment?
I assume, and I could be very wrong here, that the database
connection would be different (not too difficult to change the
connection for the deployed version) and the PHP code would be
different for MySql and Microsoft SQL. For this reason I presume we
should not implement a MySQL solution in our Studio and then try to
deploy the website into a Microsoft SQL environment.
Many thanks
Chris

CS4 supports ASP with MSSQL and PHP with MySQL. Whilst ASP
can work with
MySQL and PHP can work with MSSQL, there are not any built in
server
behaviours in CS4 that will let you do this.
Using 2003 or 2008 shouldn't matter at all, but using the
right database
will matter, and so will using the right language (ASP or
PHP).
If you want to use PHP, this needs to be installed on both
servers, as
it isn't included by default. ASP is part of IIS, but will
need to be
enabled.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0

Hi Expert,
I'm going to install SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise 4.0 on my virtualized system (vmware) composed as: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition R2 + Tomcat. I have some doubts related to the DB version to choose.
Due to the fact that Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express is bundled with SAP BOE 4.0 I want to use this DB.
However, I saw in the Microsoft Portal that Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express (http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/product-info/compare.aspx) that:
Number of CPUs     1
Maximum memory utilized     1 GB
Maximum database size     10 GB
These my doubts:
1) Could these characteristics generate performance issues for a production environment?
2) Which is a typical DB size for a production enviroment? could be greater then 10 GB?
3) Can I use Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express in a virtualized system (vmware)?
Thanks in advance for collabortion
regards
gio'

Hi Gio
Remember that the BOE system database (or repository) only has a few tables in it, with really one main table that stores a reference to each folder, report, user, group, server, etc. on the system. So the table and the database itself do not grow very large. In the past year, we have done over 70 SAP BusinessObjects projects and I can't recall one where the database size would even approach 5GB in total, let alone 10GB.
The reason for this is that the database only stores a reference to the physical objects and content within BOE-- the actual reports, universes, etc. are stored on the file system within the Input and Output file repository folders.
And the memory constraints are not really an issue either with BOE-- the database itself does not come under much strain during the day-to-day operation of the server. If you believe that the memory may be an issue, you can always start with SQL Server 2008 Express and then using the new tools in the 4.0 CMC to monitor the memory usage on the server. If you need to, you can move the system database to another SQL Server edition, or alternately move the database to another one of the supported platforms, including Oracle, DB2, etc.
Hope this helps!
regards
David

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition

Hi All,
I tried to buy and download the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition for studying purposes, but it turned out that this specialized edition is not available in my region - Middle East.
The Express edition is available free of charge for all regions, but it lacks the more advanced administration & BI features I am interested in, whereas the Evaluation edition is limited to 180-day.
Please, advise how I can purchase the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition.
Thanks in advance,
Corina.

You can buy developer edition from below links
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/SQL-Server-2014-Developer-Edition/productID.298540400
and
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-SQL-Server-2014-Developer/dp/B00JKMY8KC
If anyhow there is delay in shipment you can go with SQL Server 2014 evaluation edition. It is same as Developer but can only be used for 180 days
