[SQLObject] MS SQL Sever Backend

[Samir P. <sp...@la...>]

At  one point, I read that there is somebody working on MS SQL Server
backend for SQL Object? Where can I find it? If my information is not
correct and nobody is working on this, how difficult it is to create one? I
don't mind doing it if it is not that difficult.

I don't remember anyone talking about it before.  There is some 
not-quite-complete Sybase support in there now, which should mostly 
apply to SQL Server as well.  (I believe it's fairly complete insofar as 
it goes, but it might not implement all features)

ODBC and JDBC connectors would be nice for the MS SQL, sybase, oracle,
etc. guys, but I'm certainly not volunteering this week. :)

Re: [SQLObject] MS SQL Sever Backend - using pymssql?

[Samir P. <sp...@la...>]

MySQL is support in sql object using MySQLdb package. I found a very good 
package "pymssql.sourceforge.net" to connect to MS SQL from unix or windows. 
So to support MS SQL backend, should I copy mysql folder and modify it to use 
pymssql? If I add this backend, can it be added to your official sql object?

Samir,  

Why not make and test it, and then offer the patch.  Usually, inclusion
in a project is based on readability, functionality, performance, and
how it fits into the overall package.

Asking if it will be accepted before writing it and showing it to the
maintainers is just impossible to call.

Most likely, if it has reasonable performance, is written up to the
standards of the rest of the project, brings value, and does not force 
unacceptable requirements, it will be accepted - the SO guys are
reasonable and value contribution.
