sql server mssql

There are some major issues, in my opinion, that are preventing MSSQL from being fully supported in PHP and thus Drupal. Most, if not all, of these revolve around the terribly outdated DBLIB library - forcing some to use alternative libraries (FreeTDS or the recently released SQL Server Driver for PHP). I want to get this out in the open so that we may address them appropriately. I have run into these myself and have had to do some creative work-arounds to get Drupal to behave the way I need it to while running on SQL Server.
