Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance -
Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.

New Huh... hmmm... interesting...
[link|http://www.blackbaud.com/support/hwspecs/re7asa.pdf|Adaptive Server Anywhere version of Raiser's Edge]...

Looks like you have your "Linux supportable" Database... matter of fact ASA, is Very Well supported on Linux... ... that product(ASA) was basically a "tweak a few library includes ; configure && make && make install" from the standard *NIX code when they first tried Linux support.

I am not sure but you *MAY* be able to take the "Windows" DB and restore it on a Linux machine with it installed alreay and just start ASA. I have done that with Oracle... on Intel Hardware(IA32-)... but not RISC to Intel.

New Yes. But "supportable" is a far cry from "supported".
The most onerous issue being that I don't really obtain ASA with RE/FE. I get an OEM stripped-down version of ASA without so much as a monitoring tool. You're right about easy transfer of the actual db datafiles, though (we do cold backups that way, and I did several reversions during our migration process ;) ...it wouldn't be hard to just copy them over and restart a server on Linux. The issue is spending more bucks on an actual ASA license ($25K/CPU or $3K + $600/seat)

New Not really
There was some talk on the developers list for the product about requesting Linux DB support. To tell you the truth, I'm too busy trying to stave off .Net here to go after it.
