Can someone who uses Babelfish for PostgreSQL compatibility with SQL Server commands please describe their experience, success, hurdles, etc. We would move to PostgreSQL if made easier by such a tool. Thanks!


I haven't been able to play with it yet.

This was partly due to my lack of SQL Server projects, but mostly due to the lack of availability of the supposedly Apache-licenced sources and/or binaries (and not wanting to configure AWS for 'just testing').


It’s currently in a limited preview, not accessible outright to any AWS customer even.


Yep. I'm quite interested when the 'somewhere in 2021' will be, as the last mention of babelfish from an Amazon-employee on the mailing lists was at the end of March and I haven't heard news about the project since.
