README

This bundle implements a pdo_dblib based Microsft SQL Server. The original bundle was forked from https://github.com/intellectsoft-uk/MssqlBundle.

Symfony Install

Add the trooney/mssql-bundle into composer.json

"require": {
    ....
    "trooney/mssql-bundle": "master-dev"
},

Symfony Configuration

Update the doctrine section of your config.yml to include the option driver_class

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver:         %database_driver%
        driver_class:   \NRC\MssqlBundle\Driver\PDODblib\Driver

FreeTDS Configuration

DBLib requires FreeTDS. Your freetds.conf connection configured should look something like following:

[mssql_freetds]
    host = 172.30.252.25
    port = 1433
    tds version = 8.0
    client charset = UTF-8
    text size = 20971520

Putting everything together

Getting everything together wasn't easy. You need to complete the following steps, checking each installation is successful by connecting with the appropriate tools:

• Install FreeTDS and configure a server connection
  • Verify with ./tsql -S mssql_freetds -U yourusername -P yourpassword
• Install the PHP DBLib extension -- verify with PHP script containing
  • Verify $pdo = new PDO('dblib:host=mssql_freetds;dbname=yourdb', 'yourusername', 'yourpassword');
• Install and configure the PDODblibBundle
  • Verify Some kind of SQL against your database

Notes
