Description: Goals
        -----
        
        django-pymssql is a Django database backend for Microsoft SQL Server that
        works on non-Windows systems.
        
        It's a small wrapper around django-mssql_ that uses pymssql_ instead of ADO to
        connect to SQL Server.
        
        It should support the same versions of Python, Django and SQL Server as
        django-mssql_.
        
        The original use case was to connect to SQL Server from a Django projet
        written in Python 3 and running on Linux.
        
        Status
        ------
        
        django-pymssql 1.7 almost_ passes Django's test suite with:
        
        - Python 2.7 or 3.4
        - Django 1.7.x + django-mssql 1.6.1 + pymssql 2.1.1
        - Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        django-pymssql provides a Django database engine called ``sqlserver_pymssql``::
        
            DATABASES = {
                'default': {
                    'ENGINE': 'sqlserver_pymssql',
                    'HOST': '...',
                    'NAME': '...',
                    'USER': '...',
                    'PASSWORD': '...','
                    'OPTIONS': {
                        # ...
                    },
                },
            }
        
        Any parameter accepted by `pymssql.connect`_ can be passed in OPTIONS.
        
        Alternatives
        ------------
        
        django-sqlserver_ is a fork of django-mssql_ that supports python-tds_ and
        pymssql_ in addition to ADO on Windows. Unfortunately it has diverged and it
        lags behind django-mssql_ when it comes to supporting newer Django versions.
        
        django-pyodbc_ relies on pyodbc_ to connect to SQL Server. It requires a
        complex stack that doesn't bring actual benefits. Besides it doesn't appear
        to be very mature nor actively maintained.
        
        Hacking
        -------
        
        Clone Django, pymssql, django-mssql and django-pymssql and ``pip install -e
        .`` each of them in a virtualenv.
        
        Create a Django tests settings file with the database engine set to
        ``'sqlserver_pymssql'`` and credentials for a testing SQL Server instance.
        
        Go the the ``tests`` subdirectory in a clone of Django and execute
        ``./runtests.py --settings=test_pymssql``.
        
        License
        -------
        
        django-pymssql is released under the MIT license, like django-mssql_. See the
        LICENSE file for details. Note that pymssql_ is released under the LGPL.
        
        Some database version checking code was borrowed from django-sqlserver_ which
        is also released under the MIT license..
