  - ODBC binaries for macOS available upon request
- MSODBC 17 preview msodbcsql.msi only works for Windows10
- Always Encrypted limitations
- When using sqlsrv_query with Always Encrypted feature, SQL type has to be 
specified for each input
- No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type
- Does not support non-UTF8 locales in Linux and macOS with Always Encrypted
[Known Issues]
- Connection pooling on Linux doesn't work properly when using the MSODBC17 
preview
- When pooling is enabled in Linux or macOS
  - unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and macOS) might not return proper diagnostics 
information, such as error messages, warnings and informative messages
  - due to this unixODBC bug, fetch large data (such as xml, binary) as streams 
as a workaround. See the examples 
[here](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/wiki/Connection-Pooling-on-Linux-and-Mac)

Package Info
-------------
The Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server are PHP extensions that allow for 
the reading and writing of SQL Server data from within PHP scripts. The SQLSRV 
extension provides a procedural interface while the PDO_SQLSRV extension 
implements PDO for accessing data in all editions of SQL Server 2008 R2 and 
later (including Azure SQL DB). These drivers rely on the Microsoft ODBC Driver 
for SQL Server to handle the low-level communication with SQL Server.
*This package contains only the SQLSRV driver.*
