SQL Server - fudforum/FUDforum GitHub Wiki
FUDforum provides experimental support for Microsoft SQL Server databases starting.
Support is based on Microsoft's "SQLSRV" driver, which must be downloaded and installed separately.
To enable, add it to your php.ini and restart the web server. For example:
extension=php_sqlsrv_53_ts_vc6.dll
Users should create a SQL Server database before installing FUDforum.
One would typically start SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio), connect, right click on databases and select "New Database". When the wizard starts, enter your database name and click on "OK".
