ah,.... no, I was not using that, but will give it a go now :) thanks for that :)
Here is something that I would like to understand and possibly fix (and maybe those cmd switches will fix it ?) While I was able to connect to the mssql db locally, doing db.tables returned an empty list... But, i could see the tables, etc, using something like razor... Could it be because of the state of the DB? its sitting on SQL server 2005, and I can almost guarantee that it was never maintained (at least don't see any evidence of that)... or maybe, that should not matter?
