	As I have read you guys are planning on implementing a few other database types. I would like to use MSSQL. For now, can I simply make a change to one of G2's files where the connection string is, change it from mysql to sqloledb. That way I could use "MySql" in the installer yet it would correctly connect to my MSSQL server and let me install this thing?? I should would love to give it a try. ---- Gallery URL (optional): Gallery version: Webserver (with version): Datatabase (with version): PHP version (eg 4.2.1): phpinfo URL (optional): Graphics Toolkit(s): Operating system: Web browser/version:

	We don't support MSSQL yet. But we probably could (I say "probably" because I'm not sure what restrictions MSSQL places on SQL ANSI '92 which is the spec that we more-or-less comply with). Mindless made a post that explains the code that has to be changed to use SQLite -- it would be a similar process to adapt the code for MSSQL.
