color=#0000ff size=2>I have worked up a provisional database.mssql.inc and made
a database.mssql file to set up the database. I have a number of issues the most
difficult of which is the query that is designed to add results to a temporary
table for later use on the page. At present MS SQL doesn't support CREATE
TEMPORARY TABLE - I'm not sure if this is SQL2003 compliant but either way it
isn't available in the same manor. I have posted some thoughts on alternate
solutions:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Many small businesses I deal with have online stores integrated through SQL
Server to Win32 store-front POS applications. Centralization of their
databases is important, plus it would give credence to some who scoff at open
source solutions.<BR><BR>I have both Linux and Windows server environments and
would be happy to help develop and/or test this database support as time
allows.<BR><BR><BR>David Cornelius<BR><A class=moz-txt-link-freetext
