assuming your DB doesn't exceed 2Gig, there is a free version of mssql out SQL express 2005.

works fine/lasts a long time..

only prob is that we are very tied to mysql-ish SQL, so there are definitely a lot of issues involved in making that work.

it's possible though -- essentially mysql.inc.php would have an equivalend mssql.inc.php (in libs)

then the offending queries would need attention and also possible some of the field types in the actual tables..

i know i ran a converter to just convert over the mysql to mssql and that succeeded a while back, but stopped there..
