Use samba for windows connectivity...

As for databases, there's a plethora of 'em... if you're looking for enterprise
size databases, you can use Oracle for Linux... or medium scale: mySql,
PostgreSQL, mSQL., etc.. all these databases have ODBC drivers, which will let
you connect windows machines to them...

You can start by reading the SMB-HOWTO for samba (windows file/print
connectivity)...

la'er,
Mohit.
