Step 1. Install MssqlBundle

Add the realestate/mssql-bundle into composer.json

"require": {
    ....
    "realestateconz/mssql-bundle": "master-dev"
},

And run

$ php composer.phar install

Add to parameters.yml

database_type: mssql

Step 2. Configure DBAL's connection to use MssqlBundle

In config.yml, remove the "driver" param and add "driver_class" instead:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        default_connection:     default
        connections:
            default:
                driver_class:   Realestate\MssqlBundle\Driver\PDODblib\Driver
                host:           %database_host%
                dbname:         %database_prefix%%database_name%
                user:           %database_user%
                password:       %database_password%

Step 3. Enable the bundle

Finally, enable the bundle in the kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Realestate\MssqlBundle\RealestateMssqlBundle(),
    );
}
