Currently Primary and DR setup is Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP3-GDR) - 10.50.6560.0 (X64).

  1. Can MSSQL 2008 be migrated to mainframe zlinux?
  2. What could be possible compatibility can be face post migration. Thanks Vijay Kumar

    no, there is no SqlServer support for mainframe linux. SqlServer only supports x64 linux platforms. also there is no .net core support (which currently only supports x86, x64 and arm64).

    there are many other databases supported. PostgreSQL, MySql, Oracle, and Db2.

    note: if you host SQLServer on its own platform or Azure, you can connect from z linux via java or c callable odbc drivers that have been ported.
