I apologize for asking this question. I am somewhat confused by Microsoft's Licensing and I personally can not justify to senior management why MS SQL should be procured instead of procuring software more urgent requirements. I had the not so bright idea that maybe a MS SQL emulator or compatibility mode existed for/in MySQL. Does such a beast exist?
In particular, I wanted to use MySQL as backend database for MS Project Server and Sharepoint, and other applications that use MS SQL as their backend database. Again, I apologize for asking this question. I could not figure out the correct string to search for such software. thank you
