SQL Server Driver for PHP Team Blog

Dear SQL Server Developer Community,

Dear SQL Server Developer Community,

This has been re-posted from the Microsoft Interoperability blog.

This entry is a re-post of Brian Swan's entry on The Silver Lining blog.

Drupal 7 completed a 3-year journey earlier this year by exiting beta stages and declaring itself ready for prime time. Our team (the SQL Server Drivers for PHP team) was fortunate to be part of that journey by working closely with the Drupal community to add SQL Server support to this release. We learned a great deal along the way and helped deliver in Drupal 7 release that benefits the Drupal community, Microsoft, and most importantly the Drupal users. In this post, I’d like to provide some insight to the part of the Drupal 7 journey that we shared.

The SQL Server JumpIn! Camp, was scheduled from Nov 16^th thru 19^th at an excellent facility not too far from Microsoft's main campus with the purpose of bringing key PHP developers and SQL Server engineers together with the goal of supporting SQL Server and SQL Azure, with the last day reserved for Windows Azure and IIS. We extended our invitations to several projects/communities and were very happy and honored that most of them accepted.

Have you responded to our survey yet?

Microsoft is announcing an important interoperability milestone: the release of the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server 2.0!!
