Description

django-mssql is a SQL Server 2005 backend for Django. It currently requires the development version of Django, using at least revision 7510.

Django's built-in support for MS SQL Server has some known issues, and there are a large number of patches for improving this support. Unfortunately, none of the core Django developers are Windows/SQL Server uses, so these patches tend not to get accepted.

mtredinnick suggested moving the SQL Server backend to a separate project, and here you are.

The goal of this project is to provide high-quality support for using MS SQL Server with Django, including introspection features and good data type mapping. Initial work will be based on the existing "ado-mssql" backend, getting it working without any patches to Django itself.

Future work may focus on migrating away from the current ADO wrapper to something under more current development.

This code is currently in heavy "works on my machine" mode. I'm developing against SQL Server 2005 on Windows XP, and I'm not doing any sort of regression testing for previous versions of either. I'd welcome help there.
