Hi all, I have a semi-working* pymssql patch if anyone interested.
*= everything is working except: OFFSET (which is tough problem for MS SQL server) and the dbshell option for the manager but i believe that does not work for ADO as well. The reason why I did not release it is because at the moment I just overwrote ado_mssql driver. and since ado_mssql is hardcoded a lot, I did not want to hardcode a secondary mssql driver name. peter On Apr 20, 10:39 am, "Russell Keith-Magee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 4/20/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Understand that I don't feel entitled to a response, just that I > > figured if *I* were working on or interested inSQLServersupport for > > Django I would act on my own enlightened self-interest and take up the > > offer for assistance immediately.
