The MS SQL adept administrators and developers are adept in Windows administration so I don't see them advocating SQL Server on Linux. But time will tell. Maybe Windows administrators are clamoring to leave the Windows platform. Iggy

    Yes, you did. DB2, as opposed to MySQL or PostgreSQL is a full
    featured alternative which is making inroads on Linux. Believe it or
    not, I see more and more of DB2 on Linux clients. However, it seems
    that IBM has neglected the sales of DB2 and that DB2 is not their
    strategic product, so there aren't many applications available to
    run against DB2. There are many applications available to run
    against MS SQL. And there are many MS SQL adept administrators and
    developers, which is unfortunately not the case with DB2. Anyway,
    the time will tell.
