No, no need to run the antivirus junk on a Unix machine. In fact this whole thread is simply more evidence that you'll do better to run a database server on Unix. I have the lucky job of being the DBA for a couple of UniVerse systems running under HP-UX and a half dozen Micro$oft SQL servers running on Windows 2000. I spend far more time dinking with the Microsoft stuff for non database related fixes (patches, share security, PDC problems, etc).
That said, Micro$oft SQL server is a great database system, it's only drawback is that it must run on Windows. Well, theres also the fact you have to tell it abouit all those data types and lengths...

Plus you can get bulk licences (or could last I checked) so it is MANDATORY for all personal pcs that they be running sophos if the owner wishes to connect them to the company net. We just give them a cd and tell them they MUST install it.
