Cannot use django-mssql provider
Question: Does anyone know how to use the django-mssql provider? I've installed the
requirements but I cannot get it to work.

Without sqlserver_ado in settings.py it imports fine:

    
    
    (testenv) C:\Users\Robin\test>python manage.py shell
    Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 14:24:46) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    (InteractiveConsole)
    >>> import sqlserver_ado
    >>> ^Z
    

With a database set to use sqlserver_ado in settings.py:

    
    
    (testenv) C:\Users\Robin\test>python manage.py shell
    ImproperlyConfigured: 'sqlserver_ado' isn't an available database backend.
    Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of:
        u'mysql', u'oracle', u'postgresql_psycopg2', u'sqlite3'
    Error was: cannot import name InterfaceError
    

EDIT:

Django==1.5 django-mssql==1.5b1

EDIT 2:

Browsing the source for django-mssql reveals that it's trying to import
InterfaceError from django.db.utils which doesn't exist in Django 1.5


Answer: It's mentioned on the project's Bitbucket page at
<https://bitbucket.org/Manfre/django-mssql/overview> that:

"The current version of django-mssql supports Django 1.6. If using an older
version of Django, you will need to use an earlier version of django-mssql.

django-mssql 1.4 supports Django 1.4 and 1.5."

I installed 1.4 and now I just need to get the provider working.
