I'm confused. How's SQL Server related to .Net? Put differently: What does the SQL Server gain by .Net being available for other platforms?

Are there any announcements to port SQL Server?

At the very least, CoreCLR could bring robust SQL Server client drivers to Linux/OSX.

SQL Server is actually a CLR host and this functionality is heavily used by existing apps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_CLR). And no, I don't think an announcement has been made. However, this shows that it might be possible!

I asked an MS dev evangelist about that and he said SQL Server was likely to be the slowest to move across and open up as it's practically its own operating system and the team are isolated and conservative.
