+# MSSQL Support Extension for QWC Config Generator
+
+## Overview
+
+Based on the review of the MSSQL support PR for qwc-data-service ([PR #40](https://github.com/qwc-services/qwc-data-service/pull/40/)), I have extended the QWC Config Generator to support MSSQL datasources alongside the existing PostgreSQL support.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Updated QGS Reader (`src/config_generator/qgs_reader.py`)
+
+#### Added MSSQL Provider Support
+- Extended `layer_metadata()` method to handle `mssql` provider type
+- Added `__mssql_db_connection()` method to parse MSSQL connection strings
+- Added `__mssql_table_metadata()` method to parse MSSQL table metadata
+- Updated `pg_layers()` method to include both PostgreSQL and MSSQL layers
+
+#### Key Features:
+- **Connection String Parsing**: Handles MSSQL connection parameters including:
+  - Host/server, port, database name
+  - User credentials with proper escaping
+  - ODBC driver specification (defaults to "ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server")
+  - SQL filters
+  - Builds proper SQLAlchemy MSSQL connection strings: `mssql+pyodbc://user:password@server:port/database?driver=...`
+
+- **Table Metadata Parsing**: Supports multiple MSSQL datasource formats:
+  - Standard format: `table="schema"."table_name" (geometry_column)`
+  - Alternative format: `schema='schema' table='table_name'`
+  - Extracts primary key, geometry type, and SRID information
+
+#### Updated Database Queries
+- Modified `__query_column_metadata()` method to handle both PostgreSQL and MSSQL dialects
+- Uses dialect detection to choose appropriate SQL queries:
+  - PostgreSQL: Uses `information_schema.columns` with fallback to `pg_catalog` queries
+  - MSSQL: Uses `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS`
+
+#### Enhanced Data Type Constraints
+- Updated constraint logic to handle MSSQL-specific data types:
+  - String types: `char`, `varchar`, `nchar`, `nvarchar`
+  - Numeric types: `decimal`, `int`, `tinyint`
+  - Proper handling of character length and numeric precision/scale
+
+### 2. Updated Map Viewer Config (`src/config_generator/map_viewer_config.py`)
+
+#### Extended Edit Field Types
+Added comprehensive MSSQL data type mappings to `EDIT_FIELD_TYPES`:
+
+**MSSQL Data Types Supported:**
+- **Boolean**: `bit` → `boolean`
+- **Integer**: `tinyint`, `int`, `bigint` → `number`
+- **Decimal**: `decimal`, `money`, `smallmoney`, `float`, `real` → `number`
+- **String**: `char`, `varchar`, `nchar`, `nvarchar`, `ntext` → `text`
+- **Date/Time**: `date`, `datetime`, `datetime2`, `smalldatetime`, `datetimeoffset` → `date`
+- **Time**: `time` → `time`
+- **UUID**: `uniqueidentifier` → `text`
+
+## Testing
+
+Created comprehensive test scripts to verify MSSQL support:
+
+### Test Results
+- ✅ MSSQL connection string parsing
+- ✅ Table metadata extraction
+- ✅ Data type mappings
+- ✅ Constraint handling
+
+Example successful parsing:
+```
+Input: host=sqlserver.example.com port=1433 dbname='testdb' user='testuser' password='testpass'
+Connection: mssql+pyodbc://testuser:testpass@sqlserver.example.com:1433/testdb?driver=ODBC%20Driver%2017%20for%20SQL%20Server
+
+Input: table="dbo"."test_table" (geom) key='id' srid=4326 type=Point
+Metadata: {'schema': 'dbo', 'table_name': 'test_table', 'geometry_column': 'geom', 'primary_key': 'id', 'geometry_type': 'POINT', 'srid': 4326}
+```
+
+## Integration with qwc-data-service
+
+The config-generator changes align with the qwc-data-service MSSQL PR architecture:
+
+1. **Database Abstraction**: Config-generator now generates proper database connection strings for both PostgreSQL and MSSQL
+2. **Data Type Mapping**: Field type mappings ensure compatibility with the provider factory pattern
+3. **Metadata Generation**: Proper schema, table, and column metadata extraction for MSSQL sources
+
+## Deployment Considerations
+
+### Dependencies
+For MSSQL support, ensure the following are installed:
+- `pyodbc>=4.0.30` (Python MSSQL driver)
+- Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
+
+### Docker Support
+Following the qwc-data-service pattern, consider creating:
+- `Dockerfile.mssql` with MSSQL ODBC drivers
+- Optional dependency management for MSSQL support
+
+### Configuration
+The config-generator will automatically detect and handle MSSQL datasources when:
+1. QGIS project contains layers with `provider="mssql"`
+2. Proper MSSQL connection parameters are provided in the datasource URI
+3. Database is accessible with provided credentials
+
+## Limitations and Future Improvements
+
+### Current Limitations
+1. **Geometry Support**: Assumes similar spatial function support as PostGIS (may need adjustment for SQL Server spatial types)
+2. **Connection Testing**: No validation of MSSQL connections during config generation
+3. **Error Handling**: Basic error handling for connection/metadata failures
+
+### Future Enhancements
+1. **Spatial Adapter**: Implement MSSQL-specific spatial function handling (similar to qwc-data-service spatial adapter)
+2. **Connection Validation**: Add optional connection testing during config generation
+3. **Advanced Features**: Support for MSSQL-specific features like schemas, collations, etc.
+4. **Performance**: Optimize metadata queries for large MSSQL schemas
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Integration Testing**: Test with actual QGIS projects containing MSSQL layers
+2. **End-to-End Validation**: Verify complete workflow from QGIS project → config generation → qwc-data-service
+3. **Documentation**: Update configuration documentation to include MSSQL examples
+4. **CI/CD**: Add MSSQL support to testing pipeline if applicable
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- ✅ Backward compatible with existing PostgreSQL support
+- ✅ No changes to public APIs
+- ✅ Maintains existing configuration format
+- ✅ Works with existing permission and resource management
+
+The implementation ensures that existing PostgreSQL-based configurations continue to work unchanged while adding comprehensive MSSQL support through the same configuration mechanisms.
