Hi All

we have created an application in vs.net (Asp.Net,c#), SQL SERVER 2005.

this is working fine on Windows XP.

Now we have to run this applicatin in CENTOS 5.2(Linux).

My doubt is : whether we can install SQL Server 2005 and make a connection with our appliction on CENTOS(Linux).

Thanking you
Vamsi

No,we can't insatll sql server on linux but you can browser asp.net application from linux system

No, Sql Server 2005 runs only on the Windows platform. Check this list for Windows versions that it runs on - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(SQL.90).aspx

You may explore if you can migrate your ASP.NET application to Mono on Linux.

Mono is an open-source project providing the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix.

More about Mono -

Mono is a project led by Novell (formerly by Ximian) to create an ECMA standard compliant .NET compatible set of tools, including among others a C# compiler and a Common Language Runtime.

Mono can be run on Linux, FreeBSD, UNIX, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows operating systems.

Complete support for the .NET Framework 2.0, including the .NET 2.0 version of Windows.Forms, is planned for Mono 2.2, by the end of 2007
