Hello Everyone -
This may be a silly question, but does SQL Server 2005 run on any other platforms besides Windows? Will SQL Server 2005 run on Red Hat Linux? Or any other flavor of UNIX? Thank you for your time and assistance. I appreciate the help.
No, SQL Server requires a Windows operating system.
The requirements are listed here:
SQL Server 2005 Installation Requirements (Hardware/Software)

There are several terms using ms Server that I don't know and cannot find in my books. Does MS provide that, besides BOL where it is difficult to find good explanations or even find definitions?
thx,
Kat
ps. would be a nice feature if they don't have it currently.
I don't know of any off the top of my head. Are there any particular ones that you are hitting? We could start the list if one doesn't already exist. :)
Thanks,
Sam Lester (MSFT)
Hi Sam,
I marked your answer as not helpful in case anyone else has another answer. I use Wikopedia right now but it isn't specific to MS Products. I'll start keeping a list. Some may be silly to others but I've been out for a couple years and am playing catchup. One that I posted already and believe I understand is:
Federated Servers vs
Horizontal Partitioning
Scan: this means reading the entire table? Row by row?
As I said, some of these are just easy but I will continue my list. When I look something up in a book's index, I expect a reference and they aren't always there...
thx,
Kat

Hi Sam,
I will start my list. This may be something that could be posted in the beginner's forum. I'm playing catchup after 2 yrs off. Wikopedia helps but isn't specific to Microsoft products. Most books don't have glossaries with terms which would be so great to have. Makes reading a lot easier!
