You can register a connection string dialog per category/type of database,
the current dialog is a generic one which is simply registered for any kind
of database.

But it is possible to register a specialized one for SQL server.

Please do.

Note that I haven't got MS-SQL server myself, so I am unable to perfom any 
testing myself for this kind of server.

But Laco (Lacak in Mantis) is active in DB development and has MS SQL server
experience, I have asked him already to test (and possibly improve) the ms sql 
datadict component.

But any other area: feel free to mail and suggest/ask for improvements.

Michael.
