Yes. The database abstraction layer is working. A bug in the MS SQL
driver prevents viewing of pages 2-x of some special pages (like "Most
Wanted Templates", etc.), but page 1 of each of those comes up fine.
The problem is that scrollable cursors are being demoted to
forward-only cursors for queries using CTEs. I would expect this to
change in a future release of the drivers or I will have to come up
with a workaround. The other notable issue is that pages for oddball
characters like "fleur-de-lis" and "happy face" (single character page
names) get confused with one another. I haven't had the spare time to
figure out ways to address these yet. I have about a six-week period
in which I have another project that is consuming all of my time for
what would otherwise be working on the Azure code.
