The MSSQL extension can be linked against FreeTDS (php_dblib.dll on Win32).
This removes all the limitations that exists in ntwdblib.

As far as I know, and I might be wrong, ASP.NET uses a managed runtime
.NET
interface which does not use COM (It's the actual TDS protocol
implemented
in managed code). COM is viewed as poor way to run such interfaces both
for
performance reasons and resource reference counting resources.Andi

Subject: [PHP-DEV] RE: CVS Account Request: cleongHi Andi,
ASP.NET is using OLEDB, as well, and in my experiences this
does not add to much penalty to communicating with MSSQL
(however obviously more exhaustive performance tests are
required). However I am wondering whether the OLEDB way would
still work on non-Windows PHP versions? If
not: Having two compatible, but internally completely
different MSSQL extensions for win32 and non-win32 sounds
dangerous to me.--Christian
Hi Chung,
Any idea on the performance of OLEDB? My understanding was
that due to
it going through the COM layer, performance will be relatively
poor.Any idea?
Andi

Subject: [PHP-DEV] CVS Account Request: cleongI would like to submit a replacement for the Win32 mssql
extension
that I have recently completed. The extension provides
the same set
of functions as mssql, but uses OLEDB to talk to
SQLServer instead
of DBLIB. It allows users to retrieve varchar column
wider than 255
and also Unicode columns as UTF-8.--
