MYSQL to SQL

Hi,

I have a homebrew CMS built in PHP that uses MySQL as the backend. A new client says they will only support PHP & MS SQL.

Has anyone had experience redeploying a site built to use MySQL to use MS SQL? Was it difficult?

PS. most of the difficult stuff takes place in arrays in PHP, the queries are all rather simple.

thanks in advance.

Depends on what you mean by "simple". For instance, to select the first 50 rows in mySQL, you'd use:
SELECT field1, field2 FROM table LIMIT 50
In MS SQL, the equivalent is:
SELECT TOP 50 field1, field2 FROM table

Then, there's no quick MSSQL equivalent for this:
SELECT field1, field2 FROM table LIMIT 50, 10

As you can see, there are some differences in even the "simple" select statements.
