Re: Increasing support for Microsoft SQL Server

2020-11-26 Thread Warren Chu 
Thanks for link references - they've been helpful.

We're in the process of forking the existing django-mssql-backend 
 and setting up 
related pipelines. We're also reviewing previously logged Github issues, 
and preparing an internal Django app as a tool and onboarding opportunity. 
Are there any other hot topics related to Django and MSSQL? We're happy to 
discuss offline in a video call as well.

Cheers,
Warren

Re: Increasing support for Microsoft SQL Server

2020-11-10 Thread Adam Johnson 
Hi Warren,

Thanks for looking at working on this. SQL Server is (I believe) the most
popular not-in-core DB backend. Carlton's suggestions are solid.

I'd also point you to reading the old mailing list posts:
https://groups.google.com/g/django-developers/search?q=microsoft%20sql . I
recall there was a few years ago a previous Microsoft effort to support
Django + SQL Server, and some people including the author of django-mssql,
Michael Manfre, were flown out to Redmond(?) for some discussions. But I
don't know what came of that.

Thanks,

Adam

Re: Increasing support for Microsoft SQL Server

2020-11-08 Thread Carlton Gibson 
HI Warren. 

Thanks for your mail. 

> 1 - How can we best collaborate?

I’d guess the best thing would be to communicate with the existing contributors 
and ask where resource would be best spent. 

I’m not mssql-server user myself, but first question I’d be asking is where is 
the backend not feature-equivalent to the backends in core? (I can’t tell you 
that I’m afraid.) A good test would be whether it passes the django test suite?

Kind Regards,

Carlton

Increasing support for Microsoft SQL Server

2020-11-03 Thread Warren Chu 
Hi All,

Microsoft has commissioned internal resources, of which I'm a member, to 
drive development and support of an open source Microsoft SQL Server 
backend solution for Django. This project would exist under the 
github.com/microsoft organization.

We recognize there is an existing and active project 
[https://github.com/ESSolutions/django-mssql-backend], and we'd like to 
solicit ideas and feedback from the Django community on the best way to 
proceed.

Some initial questions we have are:

1 - How can we best collaborate?
2 - What issues or challenges are most pressing to make MSSQL-Django work 
better for you?

Thanks,
Warren
