Database connectivity from Linux to SQL Server - CRM

Hi Experts,

I want to connect my SAP CRM to extract Data from  MSSqlServer 2005 on Windows.

I found this notes:

Note 1644499 - Database connectivity from Linux to SQL Server

Note 1316740 - Set up remote monitoring for Microsoft SQL Server databases

My doubt is according to the extraction of data... I know it is possible for BW:

Note 512739 - BW external DB Connect for MS SQLServer

What about CRM?

Regards.
