+ | ====== Microsoft SQL Server ===== | ||
+ | ~~NOTOC~~ | ||
+ | ===== Description ===== | ||
+ | There are 2 supported drivers that allow connections to Microsoft SQL Server databases. | ||
+ | ==== mssqlnative ==== | ||
+ | This driver, which runs on both Windows and Linux clients, allows connections to Microsoft SQL Server databases versions 2008 and up, and uses the Microsoft Native Client libraries. This driver is now recommended for both Windows and Linux platforms, and provides the fastest PHP connection. | ||
+ | More about the Microsoft SQL Server client for Linux [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== mssql==== | ||
+ | This allows connections from Unix based clients using the freetds libraries. It can be used with version 5.x of PHP | ||
+ | |||
+ | More about the FreeTDS libraries [[http:// | ||
+ | ==== SQL Server 2003 ==== | ||
+ | Connecting to SQL server 2003 creates a difficulty There is no support for native client connections, | ||

+ | **This is the preferred driver for connecting to a SQL server database from both Windows and Linux clients.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The original driver was contributed by Microsoft and provides connections to SQL server databases greater than SQL Server 2003. | ||
+ | * On Windows clients, It requires PHP version 5.3 or greater, Microsoft native client software and the appropriate PHP driver. | ||
+ | * On Linux clients, PHP version 7.0 and higher is required. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sequences are supported in native mode in SQL Sever 2012, and emulated in earlier versions. | ||
+ | -------------------------------- | ||
+ | ==== DateTime Fields ==== | ||
+ | The default behavior for the **PHP** mssqlnative driver is to return date/time fields as a PHP [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | [RequiredDate] => DateTime Object | ||
+ | ( | ||
+ | [date] => 1996-08-01 00: | ||
+ | [timezone_type] => 3 | ||
+ | [timezone] => America/ | ||
+ | ) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | However, in order to improve portability, | ||
+ | |||
+ | [RequiredDate] => 1996-08-01 00: | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to return the dateTime as an object, the following action is required: | ||
+ | <code php> | ||
+ | $db = ADONewConnection(' | ||
+ | $db-> | ||
+ | $db-> | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Unicode Strings ===== | ||
+ | You can set the character set to UTF-8 using: | ||
+ | <code php> | ||
+ | $db = ADONewConnection(' | ||
+ | $db-> | ||
+ | $db-> | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Using Windows Authentication ===== | ||
+ | To use Windows, instead of SQL Server authentication, | ||
+ | <code php> | ||
+ | $db = ADONewConnection(' | ||
+ | $db-> | ||
+ | </ | ||

+ | <WRAP right box round 300px> | ||

+ | ^Data Provider|mssql| | ||
+ | ^Status|Obsolete((This driver will be removed in ADOdb version 6))| | ||
+ | ^Windows|Yes| | ||
+ | ^Unix|No| | ||
+ | ^ADOdb V5|Yes ((PHP Version 5.2 and lower))| | ||
+ | ^ADOdb V6|No| | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | This driver was the primary connection method to SQL Server databases up to PHP Version 5.2. The windows dll associated with this driver (php_mssql.dll) was removed from the standard PHP distribution in PHP Version 5.3. There is no community support for this driver. | ||
