Hi,

I have an application that uses Sequel (2.8.0). It was built against
MySQL and works fine there. However due to infrastructure limitations
I need to get it working against MSSQL (2000).

It looks like either the odbc/mssql adapter is not up-to-date or
possibly it supports SqlServer 2005+ but is not backwards compatible
with SqlServer 2000.

The issues I have been encountering are:
* attempting to quote column names with " (not valid) rather than
surrounding them in []
* wrapping table names in parentheses (not valid) - they can be quoted
using []
* when calling dataset.count it generates something like "select NCOUNT
(*) from table" which isn't valid
* when writing a date/time to the database it is trying to use an iso
format which doesn't work with 2000.
* when writing a String to the database it is escaping \ (backslash)
characters even though SqlServer 2000 does not give backslash a
special meaning.

I'm not sure how much further the rabbit-hole goes. I've managed to
patch these issues but as I mention above, I'm not sure whether I am
undoing support for 2005 or whether this adapter simply isn't being
used - or I have something else broken in my environment.

Any information would be appreciated. Right now I'm going to see if I
can convince management to let me set up MySQL since I know the
application works fine there.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Pete.
