Hi!
There is a method of simulating SQL Server by using PostgreSQL. The
extension is called "Babelfish": https://babelfishpg.org/
However, this extension requires modifications to the PostgreSQL source
and building the PostgreSQL with Babelfish modifications from source.
While it is a rather seamless process and goes on without much trouble,
it is still much more complicated than installing the RPM or DEB
packages, depending on your Linux distro of choice. Is there any chance
that the Babelfish modifications will be adopted in the PostgreSQL
source proper? From my DBA point of view, I didn't find any differences
in the functionality of the PostgreSQL database itself. Amazon RDS
incorporates that modification and allows creating Aurora PostgreSQL
database with the Babelfish extension from the menu.
Regards
