[mapserver-users] Will Mapserver work with newer Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Databases

[Seth G]

Hi Karsten,

We were running a production system with MS SQL 2012 for 4 years without 
any problems. We briefly moved to SQL 2014, and are now on SQL 2016 
again without issues.

Tamas Szekeres does a great job of maintaining and improving the MS SQL 
driver - https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/blob/master/mapmssql2008.c

The OGR driver also works, but I found it to be much less flexible in 
terms of complex SQL and adding filters.

Regards,

Seth
