I've used the mssql extension quite a bit where I work to connect to
SQL Server boxes and I also maintain a cross-extension database
library that works with mssql, odbc, pdo_odbc and many more. From my
experience, mssql is the only way to connect to a SQL Server database
from a non-windows platform =96 obdc and pdo_odbc had enough
unresolvable issues that I disabled the unit tests on every OS except
for Windows.

If you are interested I can run the SQL Server tests for odbc and
pdo_odbc on various platforms and give you some examples of how they
fail.
