title: How to install wordpress on MS SQL
body: <p>I am trying to convert my wordpress site which is based on MYSQl to a MS SQL because my we have our main database through MS SQL and we are creating database driven wordpress sites.  I have been able to automate all of our wordpress installation + setup through database scripts through MYSQL but all of our variables + inputs are in MS SQL.  </p>
  
  <p>Would it be easier to create a new database in MYSQL and migrate all of my data over from MS SQL or is there a way to have wordpress use MS SQL.  I am wondering if anyone has been able to do this or has any hints.  Thanks</p>
  
  <p>EDIT/UPDATE: I have accomplished this by using a linked server. <a href="http://www.ideaexcursion.com/2009/02/25/howto-setup-sql-server-linked-server-to-mysql/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Here</a> is a website if anyone else is reading this and wants to run the wordpress database by using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio:</p>
