    Enhancement: Setup Wizard for MS SQL does not allow for non-standard SQL port

    For security reasons we do not run our SQL Server on standard SQL ports.  There is not a way to specify what port to use for MS SQL.  Also this would be valuable for MySQL as well.

    Upon further investigation, it appears that if you change your server name to something like

    IPorServerName,PORT

    it may work just fine.  Note that it's a COMMA that separates the port from the server
