[Mono-list] Port MSSQL implementation as well

[Austin Winstanley]

There are many open source implementations of sql that run on linux. You
should try PostgreSql. It implements much of the same functionality as
MSSql. There is also MySql and a number of others, but I think for stored
procedures and views and triggers and everything else that MSSql offers, you
would have to go with PostgreSql...
