Yes, my personal feeling is that with both MySQL, SQLite and now PostgreSQL support (all of which are cross-platform),
it would be better to concentrate on these (which do have core developers using them).
That said, if there's a groundswell of desire and someone (yourself and/or others) is willing to write and maintain the
necessary code for MSSQL then that can still happen.

a look around the code a couple of weeks

step forward... just a case of asking if
anyone really wants it given the depth of support for MySQL and Postgres - both
of which are cross-platform.

I hope someone comes forward to maintain the MSSQL code, I REALY liked
working with it ... it gives a good
alternative in MS_Windows for MySQL. Like on linux you have PostgreSQL
(Witch is great!!) and MySQL. It just a
matter of witch database is best suitable for opensimulator and features
yet to come ....

Hi folks,
MSSQL support was added to OpenSimulator many years ago. However, for
more than 2 years, the only updates it has
received are from core developers who don't use it and so who very
likely don't test it (I'm certainly one of
those).
Indeed, as far as I know nobody on the OpenSim core team uses MSSQL.
We are now at the point where a number of new facilities (e.g. bundled
groups, offline IM) have no MSSQL
implementation
and bugs go unfixed.
Therefore, I propose to remove MSSQL support for now unless someone
steps forward to commit to implementing the
missing
functionality and fix MSSQL mantis bugs in a reasonable time frame.
They also need to remain on hand to address any
security issues that arise in the future, which is the thing that
scares me most where no core dev uses a
functionality.
Even if the MSSQL adaptor is removed, if someone does step forward to
support it in the future then it can be
added back.
Regards,
