Has anybody used Microsoft SQL instead of my SQL to setup a wiki?
Someone put together a patch: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9767
However it's probably out of date and you're likely to run into problems with both rarer code paths in the main MediaWiki code and many extensions. PostreSQL is much more actively supported and still experiences many such problems.
My strong recommendation is to just install MySQL and be done with it. It's free, and a small installation doesn't take a lot of resources.
