Escaping SQL Server Hell… support for Babelfish?
Babelfish https://babelfishpg.org/ allows SQL Server T-SQL queries to run on Postgres. My boss loves SQL server but our wallet doesn’t. Is this something that could be supported?

Babelfish for PostgreSQL is an Apache-2.0 and PostgreSQL open source project that adds a Microsoft SQL Server-compatible end-point to PostgreSQL to enable your PostgreSQL database to understand the SQL Server wire protocol and commonly used SQL Server commands.

We would have to base our fork of Postgres on their fork Postgres which seems like another layer for bugs. I wouldn't expect anything like this to happen soon, but I'll bring it up on Monday

It also seems to be a protocol change, which is not going to be compatible with our architecture either.
