Well, it depends. There are packages out there like MySQL or MiniSQL or
PostgresSQL (the one that I am most familar with) that allow ODBC SQL
operation/queries on a database under a *nix OS (i.e.  Linux). But the key
thing to keep in mind is that as with everything, the actual interface
that you are going to use is going to look different from the interface
that you used on Windows. But of course the SQL statements are going to
almost be (minor syntax changes sometimes) 100% the same. :)
