I know this is a question that most people will frown upon, but boss insists so…
I always use Symfony under Linux, but now I need to use Symfony under Windows environment and using Ms Sql Server. I'm wondering if it is possible, have anybody successfully done so.
using only sqlserver as keyword, I find three posts
In the guide, you will find that Propel support SQLServer, so I think you shouldn't have too much problems. http://www.symfony-project.org/book/trunk/08-Inside-the-Model-Layer#Database%20Connections
The main problem I see is that I don't think you will have a large base of developpers to help you if you have a SQLServer-centric problem.

I've no problem with MS Server, but be aware that Apache on Windows is not great (I should know, for the moment I am stuck with it). At the very least reformat your server and do a clean install, ideally Win 2003, and use fcgid or fastcgi. The default MPM will give you threading problems.

I have now used symfony on windows (2000, XP, and 2003) using iis and sql server (2000) on about 4 different production class projects.
I have used the php isapi extension with great success.
Everything works well. There is a small bug in the propel stuff that makes generating the insert sql a pain (does [fieldname]_PK instead of [fieldname_PK] but thats an easy fix).
I have had no issues with anything.
On one of the projects I even store all the i18n translations in the database (using the creole message source) as well as all the php sessions.
Most of the clients I do things for are reluctant enough to use php and smyfony, but trying to get them to move away from win, iis, and sql is even harder.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
chris.
