MS SQL Sever with DB on Newtware 5.1 Server

[tcitjh]

We have a customer that wants to run a MS SQL server application but wants to continue to store all of his data and other applications on a Netware 5.1 Server.

I would appreciate comments from anyone that has tried this configuration or similiar configurations.

Will it work?

Pitfalls?

Pros and Cons?

Thanks!

MS SQL Server must run on an NT 4.0 or 2000 Server box.
The data (as far as I know), must be on that box.

Other non-sql data and applications can be on Novell servers.

You can run a mixed NT, Novell network but it is a bit of a pain.

Are they already running tcp/ip to talk to their Novell 5.1 server?

(BTW, I kind of liked the Newtware.)
