New subject: RC & SQL Server

4 Sep 2006 · *now() *


      It is some time since I set up PHP on my Win2k3, it did take me one or
two attempts to get it up and running but it is now very stable. If you
have any specific problems please let me know and I will try and help
out.
I am using PHP 5.1.1

I have run the MS SQL script on a local copy of SQL Server 2005 SE.  It
went just fine.
I do not have RC installed on this machine, so is there any other
testing I can do?
How painful is it to install PHP onto Windows Server 2003?

Thomas,
Thank you for getting this into the Trunk. I will start testing as

On the subject of UTF collation, I will need to look further into
this.

SQL Server does not support UTF but uses the UCS-2 standard for

data instead.
The first change would be to change the data types of all the char,
varchar and text columns to nchar, nvarchar and ntext to allow Unicode

that's the easy part and we could then leave the collation as it is. I
would then have to look at converting the UTF data to UCS-2 with a new
function.
I'll let you know how when I have more details.

Hi John,
Thanks for the code, I just added it to the Trunk. Since I don't have
a
...
MSSQL server it's up to you to test it.
One final question: Is it possible to use UTF collation instead of
Latin1 as you suggested in the mssql.initial.sql file? If yes, what's
the exact string for MSSQL?
Regards,
Thomas

Whilst on the subject of different databases some of you may be
interested in a port to MS SQL Server that I have made.

This is a new function that is required to place the *now() *mysql

Please let me know whether any of you can make use this port.
