They've been working toward switching to FreeTDS, but I have not actively followed their progress since last summer and don't know how close they are to the switch. I might be remembering incorrectly, but some of the issues with django-pyodbc's support of stored procedures might have been rooted in FreeTDS. I haven't reevaluated django-pyodbc for a few years because of its lack of support and the native client drivers available to django-mssql are faster. > If we have MSSQL in core I'd really like to be able to talk with it from a > Linux machine too, it would also make testing easier since we'd just need a > VBox with MSSQL ;) Supporting a commercially available product but > requiring to run even more commercial software seems like counter intuitive > to me. > Django needs a VBox running Windows for testing, regardless if MSSQL is in the core.
