Microsoft-only, therefore? Or should it be able to run on MONO and dotGnu?

Note that if it supports the latter, you could conceivably attract interest from those projects...

Competing with Microsoft, who is presumably interested in having SQL Server be dominant on their deployments, is likely to go badly; if, in contrast, you provide something that is "inspiring" to MONO/dotGnu folks, they might help publicize and debug thorny issues...
