如何在 Laravel 中使用 SQL Server 连接

我有一个用Laravel3制作的工作项目，我必须切换到MSSQL Server(不过不是我说了算，嗅探.)我不理解此数据库类型上的Laravel配置.

I changed the default inside database.php to this 'default' => 'sqlsrv' then I configured the host, database, username, password in the sqlsrv array but then I get this error message:

此扩展需要Microsoft SQL Server 2012本机客户端ODBC驱动程序与SQL Server通信`

经过一些研究，我发现我们需要SQLSRV的PDO，我已经有了版本5.4，在我的phpinfo中，我得到了这个返回pdo_sqlsrv support : enabled，所以它似乎都是正确的，但同时它似乎要求ODBC SQLSRV连接，我真的必须使用它吗？

I would rather connect directly from the Laravel database connection... but even if I need it and I created some ODBC connection to the server, how do I put them inside my configuration? Here is what I have in my configuration (of course the my... is replace by my real details) :

'sqlsrv' => array(
    'driver'   => 'sqlsrv',
    'host'     => 'myServerIP', 
    'database' => 'myDatabase',
    'username' => 'myUsername',
    'password' => 'myPassword',
    'prefix'   => '',
 ),

Any help would be greatly appreciated, the only thing I found close to my problem was this link from the Laravel forum: Laravel query on SQL Server but then it just stop without giving any configurations.
