Is it possible to use any database for RBS?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 5, Visits: 183	Hi Ivan, I appreciate your answer but I think I'm missing something. I will try to explain the issue again. I think I was not clear enough. Well the thing is this. I want to build an application that will use a FireBird database with several tables on it. This database will be accessed through OleDb and the database itself will be running in a Linux box (no problem with this since FireBird is a cross-platform database). If I want to add security features to my application will it be possible to create the RBS tables in the same database (Firebird) or the RBS can only be deployed in SLQ Server / SQL Express? If the latter is true, how can I manage this situation since the database server is a Linux box? (and I don't want to run another server with Windows just to house the RBS database). The only thing I can imagine is to run a virtualized windows server in the same box, but it would be better if this can be avoided. Thanks in advance. Marcelo. (Saludos desde Argentina)

Yep, you were clear. And no, it is not possible to use Firebird to house the RBS tables, as there are some features in it that will need SQL Server 2005. If the latter is true, how can I manage this situation since the database server is a Linux box? (and I don't want to run another server with Windows just to house the RBS database). Well, you do need the Windows somewhere. Usually, when using other databases, people just set up a computer for that matter. Is it a major concern in your environment to have a computer running windows? Maybe you could put a penguin on the top of it to make everybody happy... By the way, I haven't been to Argentina yet, would love to go and visit the country some day. Where are you over there?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 5, Visits: 183	Ivan, thanks again for your reply. Well it seems that I will have to go for the penguin + Virtualize Windows or Penguin + Windows (I'd prefer the first one). Regarding your last question, I live nearby Buenos Aires city (just 10 blocks in the province !!!). The place is called Florida. If you think I could be useful in something related to Argentina, just let me know (a PM will do). Abraços.

Hi Ivan, I am quite intrigued by Firebird...been playing with it for several days, now. I am just about to pull the trigger and implement my own DAL by inheriting from DbDataSourceItem. What are the features of SQL Server 2005 that are required by the RBS? Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill, What have you seen in Firebird so far that would make you switch from MS SQL?
