I haven't implemented anything that would facilitate interfacing with 
MSSQL, and I'm not going to spend any time supporting it in the near 
future.  The database backend support is pretty well modularized in the 
compiler, so anyone who understands the code base could add a new 
backend fairly easily.

(Obviously you can use the current support without migrating to MySQL, 
because you could migrate to Postgres or SQLite instead. ;])

Also keep in mind that Ur/Web is not implemented to work with the model 
where you create a database and then interface with it.  Ur/Web wants to 
control all database tables, and the database is really just a backing 
store whose schema is generated from the Ur/Web application's code.
