Issue on GitHub: https://github.com/michiya/django-pyodbc-azure/issues/80
Every time a request is made, the django-pyodbc-azure backend is checking for the SQL version, resulting in a lot of additional latency:
QUERY = "SELECT CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion') AS varchar)"
Is this the expected behavior? Is there a way to prevent it, or set the version ahead of time?
