 * Will this plugin with with an Azure SQL Server database? I have all of my connection
   details correct (except not sure what to use for Port) but I get a 500 Error 
   when testing my connection. Thank you!

 * Hey [@cramaekers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cramaekers/),
 * Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
 * I don’t believe the plugin will currently work with Azure SQL Server.
 * To be upfront, this is not something I’m realistically going to be able to tackle
   in the near future due to my wife’s desire for a kitchen and having to take on
   more private work than I’d like : P
 * My goal is to get some good testing in the plugin and swap out the custom database
   type queries to use a PDO but this won’t happen any time soon.
 * However, if you’re interested in tackling adding Azure support yourself the good
   news is the key concepts have been previously created.
 * I had a pull request previously and you can see how I tweaked their code to add
   MSSQL support on July 13th 2019 here:

 * Without knowing your understanding of PHP I am unsure if this is something you’re
   comfortable to tackle. However, if you wanted to make a pull request and add 
   this feature I’d be happy to look at integrating it into the plugin 🙂
 * Let me know your thoughts.
 * Thanks,
 * Tom 🙂
