SQL SERVER 2008 Express R2 for MAC OS

  • Can I install Sql Server Express 2008 R2 on MAC OS? Is there any problem? I dont know which other programs I have to download to setup it completely

  • No. SQL works on Windows only. If you want to use SQLon a mac, you need some dual boot or virtualisation that lets you run the windows operating system.

  • Ok. Thank you...if I had understood you... I need some kind of emulator for Windows ...is that right?

  • Not an emulator. A virtual machine or similar. There are several for the MacOS, just search around.
