dbt-mssql stars

dbt-mssql is a custom adapter for dbt that adds support for Microsoft SQL Server versions 2008 R2 and later. pyodbc is used as the connection driver as that is what is suggested by Microsoft. The adapter supports both windows auth, and specified user accounts.

dbt-mssql is currently in a beta release. It is passing all of the dbt integration tests on SQL Server 2008 R2. Considering Microsoft's legendary backwards compatibility, it should work on newer versions, but that testing will come in the near future.
