I am obviously biased against postgres as my previous post indicated, but regardless of that I think that MSSQL should stay outside of core. No core-developer I know actually uses Windows as base OS and to my knowledge no one uses MSSQL. This would put the expected support for South below what we have for Oracle currently.
