I still do not understand, why not include (for example new mssqlconnector) with Win64 build? I do not have Win64 machine so I can not test, but I expect, that there is no problem complile FreeTDS/db-lib for Win64 so if only reason for excluding package from Win64 is missing client library, then this reason is not valid. Can anybody explain please why some sql-db connections are presented on Win64 and some not?

I agree here. Can anybody explain please why some sql-db connections are presented on Win64 and some not? Perhaps because either nobody verified that they work there or because nobody had expressed enough interest to have them enabled there.

Note: I had yet no real success with the Oracle connection on Windows (32 Bit). I'm still investigating the exact reasons, so I can report approbiate bugs (one reason seems to be that the calling convention in the oracle interface unit is wrong).
