This extension is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this extension—including the names of its functions and any other documentation surrounding this extension—may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This extension should be used at your own risk.

This is an experimental driver. Also php.net site says the following: "On Windows, you should use the PDO_ODBC driver to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases, as the native Windows DB-LIB is ancient, thread un-safe and no longer supported by Microsoft."

You can use pdo_mssql already, or is this not what you are after?

Some notes in the manual:
<http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.db.html#zend.db.adapter.adapter-notes.pdo-mssql>

Also, you might want to check with the issue tracker, there seem to be
a couple open issues and I bet they could use some help, so maybe you
can submit patches:
