As of revision 879, I've added experimental support for MS SQL Server database backends, thanks to a patch from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To use it, just change your DATABASE_ENGINE setting to "ado_mssql". I don't have access to SQL Server, so I haven't been able to test it. I have no idea how well it works, although I've looked at the code to make sure it fits our coding standards. If you've got access to SQL Server, it'd be a *great* help if you could do any of the following: * Run the Django unit tests with SQL Server as the backend. Just run tests/runtests.py and file a ticket with the bugs if there are any aside from the three "one_to_one module" test failures (which are a known issue). * Figure out how to provide the port in the connection string, if possible. * Verify the MS SQL random function is indeed "RANDOM()" (from get_random_function_sql() in django.core.db.backends.ado_mssql). Queries with LIMIT and/or OFFSET probably won't work, because SQL Server appears to use "SELECT TOP" instead of LIMIT/OFFSET. Elegant solutions to this problem are welcome. :) The more eyes we get on this one, the sooner we can make sure it's solid. Thanks for any help!
