Skip, I looked at (and rejected as too green) an early implementation of an MS-SQL module from Object Craft when putting together the MS-SQL module for SA. It was very similar to their Sybase module.
That's no surprise: as you probably know, MS-SQL was originally a joint project between MS and Sybase, and MS came out later with their own version of SQL Server. (What happened later to Sybase, and other MS "partner" companies like Lattice, is a rant for another day). Anyway, to this day the underlying wire protocols of MS-SQL and Sybase are nearly identical. Given that, along with the shared Transact-SQL that they both use, I would think that the MS-SQL and Sybase modules would be so similar that they could be better done as a single integrated module. But these days, I'm thinking that effort might be better spent on an ODBC module that could be used to drive MS-SQL, Sybase and dozens of other ODBC compliant databases.
