Nope,
If your program is only written for MS SQL 2000, it's about 99.9% sure that it
uses proprietary MS technology like MS Transact-SQL stored procedures, and
posibly MS SQL 2000 XML features, MS full-text search and the like. You will
need to ask the developers of the package if they have another version of the
package or if someone is willing to modify it. I've got Ten bucks that says they
don't.

Is it only possible to first make a DB in MSSQL and then exporting it
to MySQL or PostgreSQL, or can i also build an MSSQL compatible DB
from scratch?
I'm asking this because we're gonna upgrade our
bookkeeping program to a windows version (it's only DOS now) and that new
program can only function with MSSQL 2000, but we're running a Novell
network. So for MSSQL 2000 to function we'll have to implement a Win2000
server just for this DB, with licenses for all users who log in, which
comes to about a 100. If I could just run a MSSQL 2000 comp. DB program on
Linux, that would fit us better.
Thanx
