Hi Evan. There would be 2 problems, and I would have to say dont do that. -1- As Vintage msSql is not the fastest DBM, running it under emulation will not emprove on the response time. Worsening an already bad situation. -2- As things go, Abovementioned DBM does use some undocumented/ Misdocumented (features) of its native file-system, so it will loose data and crash eventually. Even if you run it on an ntfs partition.
I would suggest a full port of the dbm to some open-source or propriatery db that runs natively on Linux, on say a normal ext3 of reiserFS or xfs, jfs, whatever and save yourself the dayly crash-recovery cycle and the wrath of humaity (the users):-) Cheers Szemir On Tuesday 24 June 2003 08:41, you wrote: > Hey people > > Is it possible to run SQL Server 7 thru WINE?
