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.
Michael.
