Is it possible to connect to a microsoft database like sage from a Linux server?

The documentation of sage says this.

You have a Linux Server (Operating system:openSUSE 11.1 + Plesk 9.5) not a windows Server Thus the technical specifications for the Sage Line 50 are not met and cannot be installed on the Server you have.

Sage line 50 Technical specifications: (http://shop.sage.co.uk/accounts.aspx)

Compatible operating systems

Windows XP Service Pack 3

Windows Vista

Windows 7

Windows Server 2008

Windows Server 2003

I know sage says this, but i also know you Linux boys are great. Is there a开发者_Python百科ny possibility of this happenening or must i get a windows based server

Any information would be great

You're referring to hosting, not connecting. You will need a Windows server.

Sage is not a microsoft database its a third party app written by Sage. Sage uses a flat file system to store data so technically you could store the data on a linux server using samba and connect to the network path on your windows client to access the data. probably not supported but it would def work.
