Hi everybody,

I've done a quick hack to support MS-SQL-Server, since my company needed that functionality.

Unfortunately, it is indeed a hack. You change several sql queries. This will affect either the results and/or the performance.

I know, that MS-SQL was supported in earlier versions and that you decided to drop it.

We dropped it because we lacked a maintainer.

Since only minor changes to the system were necessary I believe that supporting this database would not take so much.

If you can work more on it and preferably avoid changing any queries in core I suggest that you create a contrib project for this. We can then evaluate the popularity of this and then include it in the release after that. Cheers, Gerhard
