I know that SqlSrv means Microsoft SQL Server..

Laravel works fine with MS SQL Server. Microsoft provides a driver for PHP (several, actually, depending on your SQL version) which you install and enable in your PHP installation.

Ok thanks, does this still apply, even if im using Laravel from a on a linux installation? I guess I should have mentioned that from the start :)

Thanks man. I have spent some hours trying with FreeTDS + unixodbc, but with no working solution (yet). I will debug more and possibly open another thread with all the details if that does not work :]

Update:

I managed to get it work. This was done on a CentOS installation. I'll post what I did. Maybe it will help others.

I made sure that FreeTDS and unixODBC was working. By following step 4-6 at this link you can see how to install/test odbc (ignore the perl stuff). Then in app/config/database.php I added:

		'sqlsrv' => array(
			'driver'   => 'sqlsrv',
			'host'     => 'just_the_hostname_here',
			'username' => 'username',
			'password' => 'pw',
			'database' => 'db_name',
			'prefix'   => '',
		),

..and it works.

Remember to set $connection = 'sqlsrv' in relevant models.
