Re: PHP + PDO + MSSQL

mssql and PDO_DBLIB are equivalent in functionality in releases, so
either should suffice. Be aware though that PDO_DBLIB does not support
return parameters from stored procedures, but mssql does (mssql_init,
mssql_bind).

HOWEVER, only PDO_DBLIB supports very large recordsets in trunk.

For general portability, not including any T-SQL specific code, I
would use PDO_DBLIB over mssql since this is there I believe the
database layers *should* be heading.
