Hi There,

Moodle 1.7 and higher can already be installed under MS Sql - see:
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_MSSQL_for_PHP

If you are wanting to work on a Moodle Project for GSOC, please see the suggested list of projects for new developers here:

Well, yes, but following changes to the DB layer in Moodle 2.0, the MSSQL driver needs some love. Also, PHP MSSQL drivers seem to be in a sucky state, so anything we can do on the Moodle side to make installation better might be worth it.

So, srinivasan, there might be a worthwhile project here, but I am not sure. The best person to contact about this would be Eloy Lafuente (Stronk 7) who is in a European time zone. I would suggest following the instructions on Applying_to_work_with_Moodle_for_GSOC to join the gsoc2009@conference.moodle.org Jabber chat at a time when people in Europe might be awake.
