Jonathan,
I am sorry, I am not at all sure that I understand your question, you seem
to want to know if you can use .net to work with a UNIX database and the
answer to that is an unqualified yes, it does not matter what OS your
database is running, the only thing you need is to use Windows on the
machine where you are going to use .net. Makes sense?
To your questions:
> 1. The server must be Unix
Not a problem.
> When I say 'server' means 1) database server;
Not a problem
> 2) if possible also the application server.
(?) Are you saying that you are going to be using this machine as a web
server? If so then problem since .net was developed for windows (mono
project aside). If you are not going to use this as a web server what other
type of app server functions do you want it to do? you seem to indicate
later in the post that you would like to use c# /asp.net on the client
>2. I want to make use of the Windows/.Net powers on client side.
Perfect, on the Windows client machine you would use ado.net to connect to
the UNIX database directly. It does not matter that it is running under
Unix, all you need are the oledb or odbc drivers for your application.
