Subject: Differences in VC6 and VC9 Windows builds and MSSQL Driver.
From: rquadling@googlemail.com ("Richard Quadling")

Hi.

With regard to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46971, how much effort
is needed (if any) to document that some functionality is not going to
be available in all windows builds? [DOC]

Or,

When will VC6 be dropped? [CORE and DOC]



Admittedly, it is only an issue for Microsoft SQL Server (mssql and
pdo_mssql) and for Sybase_ct.

With Microsoft having their own PHP extension for talking to MSSQL
(http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/PHP-Driver.aspx -
though documented to only support SQL 2005 and 2008, not 7 or 2000),
could this become the standard alternative for php_mssql.dll (though
not PDO as the MS extension is procedural only, leaving ODBC as the
route for older versions?
