Can anybody share his experiences, knowledge about SQL Server on Unix Platforms? 1- Is there two flavors of unix SQL Server a) one that existed for Unix before LM/X b) one that works with LAN Manager/X? If there is just one, then what is the mechanism that has enabled this connectivity? 2- Any experience about accessing a unix SQL/S from an OS/2 workstation? 2a Is the acessess complete transparent where it's an unix or os2 sql server from the OS2 workstation standpoint? (ie. is it just a matter of a re-compile with different sets of DBLIBs?) 3- Will SQL/Server run on HP/UX? 4- I hear that Sybase is working on Unix workstation accessing an OS/2 SQL/Server??

Follow up: to clarify, consider these boxes: ------------ ----------- ----------- | SQL/Server | | SQL/Server | LM | SQL/Server | LM/X | OS2 | Unix | Unix ------------ ----------- ----------- A B C -----------------------------etherlink----------------------------------- ---------------- ---------------- OS/2 Workstation Unix Workstation ---------------- ---------------- 1 2 Assumption: SQL/S on B and C are different products? I know for a fact that: 1 can access A over Named-Pipes 2 can access B over an IPC mechanism called (Berkeley Sockets)? 1 can access C is being advertized?? Who can confirm/comment on: 2 can access A ???? 2 can access C ????? Thank you.
