 Sorry, I meant a wrapper written in PHP that extends PDO but uses the new
 driver's functions. Unfortunately, my C skills are not quite where they need
 to be to write a PHP extension :(
 
 I also just realized that the new driver uses the ODBC client for the
 underlying low-level communication. Is there any benefit to using this new
 driver as opposed to the PDO_ODBC driver to connect SQL Server?

The only difference I've come across is streams + lobs work properly in
the new driver, they don't work quite right with PDO_ODBC.  So if you're
doing lobs and want to use them as php streams, use the new driver.
However PDO is getting a fix for this bug... this may not be true in the
future.

Otherwise, no there is no benefit.

Thanks,
Elizabeth Smith

 Hi Richard,

 Sorry about not sending to the list, I found this post while browsing the
 internet and i'm not subscribed to the php-windows list.

 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'm the main developer of Outlet ORM and I currently use it with SQL Server
 2005. Outlet relies on PDO and I use the PDO_ODBC driver when connecting to
 SQL Server from windows. Here is the link to the project:

 http://www.outlet-orm.org

 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?


 I'm planning on wrapping the new 2005 driver with a PDO-interface. In case
 you're interested, I'll post my progress to the outlet mailing list at:
 http://groups.google.com/group/outlet-orm



 Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

 Regards,

 Richard Quadling.

Thank you to Alvaro for this.



Alvaro, will you be able to submit your wrapper to PHP so that it can
become part of the core release? Currently, for VC9, there is no
php_mssql or php_pdo_mssql (php-5.3-win32-VC9-x86-latest as at
2009/04/15 04:50)

A replacement is needed.

Regards,

Richard Quadling.
