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.
And the dream will become true... Thanks Michael.
Any chance to merge in fixes_2_6 in short time?

Hi Michael,
Do you have some prediction to include the sources?
My apologies, I had totally forgotten; I am buried in work currently.
Committed in revision 20522. I didn't commit any examples or tests. Please
test if everything works OK. I compiled on Linux 64-bit, I don't have
a working FPC/Lazarus 32-bit windows development environment currently.
Hi Michael,
splitting files into two packages was unavoidable?
Yes.
As you can see for the other databases, we always keep the header imports
separate from the components. Standard time-tested practice.
Michael.
