Either unified diffs or pull requests would be great.

Without commercial sponsorship, we're probably not interested in 
reviewing, merging or carrying the maintenance cost of MSSQL support.  
That would be a lot of time, work and risk.  I don't see any useful 
benefit for our customers or users.

We would be interested in any updates to the MySQL/MariaDB support, 
though.  Most of the support is there already, it just needs to be 
tested and updated for v4.
