title: Symfony connect to database: ODBC connection on PHP7
body: <blockquote>
    <p>Just use the Driver of Microsoft Github repo - it was already working with the beta and now they stabilized it - I forgot to "answer" the question here by myself - sorry for that delay. Link: <a href="https://github.com/Azure/msphpsql/tree/PHP-7.0/binaries" rel="nofollow">Azure MSSQL</a></p>

  <p>How is it possible to connect from symfony2.8 on PHP7 to a MSSQL server using ODBC connection?</p>
  
  <p>Can't find anything in the net, except for some legacy stuff.</p>
  
  <p>What needs to be changed / done? I know that Symfony offers odbc, can I still use doctrine as mapper when connecting through odbc?</p>
