Hi all,

So basically here's my problem. I'm looking for a solution to allow us to connect with SQL Express 2008, while still using MDB2 as our database abstraction layer. I need something like this, mainly because we still need to be able to use MySQL and Postgres (and ORMs seem to be not an option at this point in time).

Preferably, there would be a solution that works for both PHP5.2 and PHP5.3.

At first I went down the php_mysql extension road... it seems, though, as though that is not available in PHP 5.3.

php_pdo_mssql doesn't seem to be usable with MDB2, so that seems to be out.

Finally, there's the MS developed 'SQLSRV' extension, and while it seems as though there was work on a MDB2 'extension' for it at one point, it doesn't seem to have ever made it into the main branch.

Please... does anyone have any solutions for me?
