Hi,
let me share same basic info/ideas about TMSSQLConnection :
1. As Marcos wrote it is descendant of sql-db TSQLConnection class
and
provides native connector for MS SQL Servers and Sybase servers
2. is depends/requires on FreeTDS open-source cross platform
DB-Library
(alternatively can be used also Microsoft db-library ntwdblib.dll)
3. all what is needed are 2-3 files:
- mssqlconn.pp (implementation of TMSSQLConnection and
TSybaseConnection)
- dblib.pp (interface to FreeTDS db-library ABI dblib.dll on Windows,
libsybdb.so on *NIX)
- readme.txt (some info for users/developers)
4. according to market share of MS SQL Server and Sybase there may
be many
users, which will welcome alternative to TODBCConnection
5. there is on http://www.freepascal.org/future.var in "Improve the
database support" > "Drivers (descendants) for more database
types" so I
understand it as FPC is open for new stuff ;-)
6. if there is any problem please let us know. If you decide to
include it
into fcl-db then you can place files for example into
src/sqldb/mssql folder
;-)
I will have a look and include both units.
And the dream will become true... Thanks Michael.
Any chance to merge in fixes_2_6 in short time?

Hi Michael,
Do you have some prediction to include the sources?
My apologies, I had totally forgotten; I am buried in work currently.
Committed in revision 20522. I didn't commit any examples or tests.
Please test if everything works OK. I compiled on Linux 64-bit, I
don't have
a working FPC/Lazarus 32-bit windows development environment currently.
Hi Michael,
splitting files into two packages was unavoidable?
I would prefer If all 3 files will be in one folder (sqldb/mssql)
together (it seems to me simpler and more convenient).
(because they are strongly related each to other)
Thanks
-Laco.
