Cool. Maybe your company could provide some funds for completing 
several outstanding things :)
(some of us are freelancers who mostly contribute during their 
customer projects and can be hired ;-))

Well, I clearly can understand you don't want MySQL, the SQL-enabled
cardfile ;-P. But WTH MSSQL ? 

We've got PostgreSQL support. Instead of burning so much money w/ 
M$ license fees and the whole (Windows-generated) troubleshooting,
you can get an complete machine w/ pgsql on GNU/Linux or xBSD
and build evrything optimized for your hw.

One of the major points (IMHO) is that MSSQL's understanding of SQL
is even crappier than MySQL's. 

I *personally* wouldn't suggest porting to another homebrewn SQL dialect. 
Better spend a day for becoming confident w/ PostgreSQL ;-P
