[PHP-DB] RE: [PHP-WIN] Which ORM tool for Windows with Microsoft SQL Server 7/2000/2005.

[Andi Gutmans]

Btw, in Zend Framework while we based our adapter interface on PDO we allow for 
adapters which are not based on PDO (via quackable interfaces).
DB2, Oracle and MySQLi are supported in that way as well as of course many PDO 
drivers.
You can easily take one of those native DB adapters and make them work with the 
sql server for PHP driver.

 Richard,
 
 As pointed out on other branches of the thread, PDO_ODBC is currently
 your best option for accessing SQL Server via PDO and technologies that
 rely on PDO.  We are investigating producing a PDO driver for SQL
 Server Driver going forward.

 Subject: [PHP-WIN] Which ORM tool for Windows with Microsoft SQL Server
 7/2000/2005.
 
 Hi.
 
 I'm trying to find an ORM tool to allow me to talk to Microsoft SQL
 servers (V7, 2000 and 2005) for Windows.
 
 For those that use ORM, what do you use?
 
 I've looked at Doctrine (requires php_pdo_mssql which isn't part of
 the VC9 win32 builds; for the VC6 builds, it requires ntwdblib.dll
 which is oh so dead).
 
 I'm looking into Propel next. This now seems to be using PDO and
 PDO_MSSQL, so it seems I've got the same problems.
 
 Ideally, using the nice shiny Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Driver for PHP
 from Microsoft (http://www.codeplex.com/SQL2K5PHP) would be nice. But
 this isn't PDO.
 
 Is there anyone capable of getting the Microsoft driver PDO aware?
 
 Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
 
 Regards,
 
 Richard Quadling.

users to try it. PHP 5 is still not ready for production use!

Some of the more major changes include:

- XML support has been completely redone in PHP 5, all extensions are now 
focused around the excellent libxml2 library (http://www.xmlsoft.org/).
