How can I connect/run Joomla on Mac (or Linux) to/with a remote Microsoft SQL server?
===

I am starting a project in Joomla. Web server is Apache on Mac.

The database I would like to run on is a remote Microsoft SQL server. I am only given the option of installing with mysql when I hit the install page.

Microsoft provides PHP drivers, but they are Windows only.

Are there any other options?
