[Opensim-dev] Proposal to drop MSSQL support if no one comes forward to implement missing bits and fix bugs

[verwijs.pc at gmail.com]

I hope someone comes forward to maintain the MSSQL code, I REALY liked working with  it ... it gives a good alternative in MS_Windows for MySQL. Like on linux you have PostgreSQL (Witch is great!!) and MySQL.  It just a matter of witch database is best suitable for opensimulator and features  yet to come ....
