Yes, but Platypus would require a seperate one.
I would not trust my data on a shared SQL server regardless of what the
apparent security on it is.
Windows has been shown to be insecure so many times in the past.
Plus we have an Oracle server for our other purposes.
I suppose what I am saying is that I would like a choice of platform because
Windows is OK if you have tons of resources to throw at it, but if your
resources are limited then its not the best way to run a database system
with a web front end which is what Platypus looks like (customers logging in
etc).
