Django 2.2 support

[PaszaVonPomiot]

Hi,

There seems to be new alpha version released of Django and it appears that it will require some database backend changes. So I'm just giving you a head's up because I will be very interested in keep using my MS SQL database with Django 2.2 once it's released. Thanks for keeping it up to date so far!

Django 2.2 is out now.

Any word on this, @michiya? Anything we can help with?

Django 2.2 is an LTS release so I'm just here to say +1 to this issue

For everyone looking for 2.2 support - it's possible to simply change the version constraints and this driver installs properly. It works fine for my application but I don't know if there are any hidden problems that will come up later.

I'm more than happy to submit code that adds Django 2.2 support, although I'm not really an expert on SQL Server.

As noted at the top of the thread -- there are new features that Django will be checking for. It's not clear whether the defaults they have set in the base class match up with the feature support in SQL Server. So you may run into problems during things like bulk inserts, creating indexes, or using newer ORM features. It would probably be a good idea just to establish the correct values for the features listed as a first step towards Django 2.2 support.

Apologize for the delay. I'm working on it and hope that I can publish a new version for Django 2.2 in this month.

Needed here also, thanks for working on it!

Are there any sub-issues that need to be tackled that would help close this one out? I'd be more than happy to help, as this project is very useful to some of my company's efforts.

Any update on this @michiya ?

Hi @michiya, would you be able to confirm 2.2 support is still in the pipeline? I'm happy to wait (and help if there's anything), however knowing it'll come at some point will help steer some support decisions.

Maybe you can try #204 first.
