Michael,
Thanks for the changes. I am checking them out and will create a new build
to test the changes. If it works I may contribute a few changes to improve
usability such as a connection wizard or some other dialog to guide first
time users in creating/configuring a database connection. I know from my
experience that I had to tweak the mssql connection to allow for statements
such as "create database". I will test this. Also there should be a
database selector, which when dealing with mssql allows the same connection
to address a different database on the same server instance.
You can register a connection string dialog per category/type of database,
the current dialog is a generic one which is simply registered for any kind
of database.
But it is possible to register a specialized one for SQL server.
Again I will check for this.
Please do.
Note that I haven't got MS-SQL server myself, so I am unable to perfom any
testing myself for this kind of server.
But Laco (Lacak in Mantis) is active in DB development and has MS SQL server
experience, I have asked him already to test (and possibly improve) the ms sql
datadict component.
But any other area: feel free to mail and suggest/ask for improvements.
Michael.
