Microsoft SQL Server
A relational DBMS from Microsoft that is a major component of the Windows Server System. It is Microsoft's high-end client/server database and is closely integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio and the Microsoft Office System. Numerous editions are available, including those for Enterprise, Developer, Workgroup and 64-bit platforms.

Common Code Roots
SQL Server was originally developed by Sybase and also sold by Microsoft for OS/2 and Windows NT. In 1992, Microsoft began development of its own version, but acknowledged Sybase as copyright holder of origin until 1994. Future revisions diverged in 1995 when Sybase renamed its product Adaptive Server Enterprise as a means of differentiation (see ASE).
(database)Microsoft SQL Server - A relational database management system (RDBMS) which is part of Microsoft's BackOffice family of servers. SQL Server was designed for client/server use and is accessed by applications using SQL. It runs on Windows NT version 3.5 or higher and is compliant with the ANSI SQL-92 and FIPS 127-2 SQL standards.

SQL Server supports symmetric multiprocessing hardware; SNMP, ODBC, and major open standard communications protocols. It has Internet integration, data replication, and data warehousing features.

Microsoft SQL Server was originally developed by Sybase Corporation but the cooperation was broken sometime before version 6.0.

Latest version: 7.0. http://microsoft.com/sql.

If you need MSSQL as backend then Windows OS is a better option.
MSSQL to MySQL migration software maintains all properties, original structure and Unicode architecture of MSSQL DB after data migration.
Ideally, formulation software should work with most leading edge databases--a common data interface should support Microsoft Access, MSSQL Server, Sun Microsystems' MySQL, and Oracle, independent of the specific database management system.
