No it didn't. On sqlbox code on CVS doesn't support MS-SQL right now.  
There's some code remnants suggesting some work done towards it, but  
even then, it was done using FreeTDS or ct-lib.

Besides, having the code on dbpool allows for dlr's over freetds as  
well (see my other patch). Just like mysql, oracle, posgres, sdb, etc.

Furthermore, all SQLBox DB's support are also implemented using the  
dbpool, so adding it at that level seems like the way to go imho.
