    Strange! Does 1.1M5 have the SQLServerAdapter? I've got the modeller running
    in the background (1.1M5) and the adapter doesn't appear in the list.

    Just used SybaseAdapter to reverse engineer the SQL Server database and it
    looks as though it grabed all the info I needed.

    Hi Gary,

    It doesn't in 1.0.*, however it does in 1.1. Though 1.1 is somewhat
    unstable at this point, it is quickly moving to Beta. So it is becoming
    safer to upgrade with every new milestone.

    This is the case and it actually makes sense. IIRC, Sybase helped MS a
    lot to develop SQL Server (and in the process lost its leading position
    on the DB market). The similarities in the "feel" of two databases are
    striking. SQLServerAdapter in 1.1 in fact inherits from SybaseAdapter
    and customizes just a few minor things.
