HP-UX on PA-RISC is big-endian, so I guess HP choose this to make porting
easier.
Linux comes from i386, so they choose little-endian instead ('though I'm sure
that some distribution will choose big-endian instead).
The same happened way back, when NT on DEC Alpha was also little-endian, if I
remember right.
MaxDB clients on little-endian machines shouldn't have a problem talking to
big-endian servers. Is this a general problem or are there only specific SQL
commands that fail or bring down either the server or the client?
