 * I am running wordpress on IIS w/ a SQL Server backend (via the WP DB Abstration
   plugin). Does this plugin support that scenario?
 * When I go to Tools->Import->Wordpress I get a blank page. That is, the menus 
   on the top and side are present, but the main area is blank.
 * I am seeing some db specific errors like:
 * WordPress database error: [[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]
   Incorrect syntax near ‘wp_subscribe2’.]
    SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
   TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE ‘ N’wp_subscribe2”
 * WordPress database error: [[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]
   Could not find stored procedure ‘SHOW’.]
    SHOW TABLES
 * WordPress database error: [[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]
   There is already an object named ‘wp_subscribe2’ in the database.]
    CREATE TABLE
   wp_subscribe2 ( id int NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1), email NVARCHAR(64) COLLATE database_default
   NOT NULL default ”, active tinyint default 0, date DATE default ‘2013-08-07’ 
   NOT NULL, ip char(64) NOT NULL default ‘admin’, time TIME DEFAULT ’00:00:00′ 
   NOT NULL, conf_date DATE, conf_time TIME, conf_ip char(64), CONSTRAINT [wp_subscribe2_id]
   PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (id) WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY];
 * WordPress database error: [[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]
   Could not find stored procedure ‘SHOW’.]
    SHOW TABLES
