I don't know what others have done, but I have generally been able to just
add the MSSQL option to the installation scripts and install as for other
DBMSs and update the code to parallel the changes that have been made for
the MySQL driver. My updates typically don't get added into the git
repository. I'd like to remedy that, especially since I intend to spend
time on the code again. I never did get to the point where it was obvious
how the setup would incorporate the alternative storage architecture for
Azure (storing the media in Azure blobs). That would probably be the next
thing for me.

to a MS SQL database.
I was somewhat surprised to see that even though we have a
db/DatabaseMssql.php, we don't have a installer/MssqlInstaller.php.
I imagine this is because when the installer was re-written, no one was
around to implement it for MS SQL. Are SQL Server users just updating
their old MW installations?

give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in
judgment. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
