> What dramatically better tooling does SQL Server has? I don't know about Oracle but SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) are vastly better than anything I've seen for open source databases. SSMS is just a really good visual client with an excellent table/view designer, diagram builder and query builder with GUI management features that let you manage virtually every facet of your server and databases. SSDT lets you treat your SQL schema, database settings and deployments like code, with versioning. All of your table schemas, views, functions, procedures, settings, seed data, etc. are stored as text in your git repo. When you're creating, it has excellent intellisense/autocomplete. You can use it to diff your schema and data against a given SQL Server database to generate migration scripts. You can also do data comparisons between your seed data and your server and you can diff schemas and data between 2 different servers without even having created an SSDT schema. Another very useful feature is that you can reverse engineer a SQL Server database that was already created in order to start your SSDT project. It also has visual designers for all of the aforementioned things. It used to be a separate tool, but now it's part of the free Visual Studio community edition. Both tools are free, as are various editions of SQL Server. Also, SQL Server itself has had features for a long time that PG is just starting to get such as real Stored Procedures, ones that can return multiple heterogeneous result-sets, run transactions and do control of flow with SQL-like statements (IF/THEN, DO, WHILE, etc.) It also has table variables, which are like in-memory tables, that you can use as a faster type of temp table for certain sets of data. Since I moved off of Windows for my workstations, I've been running SQL Server in Docker on Linux for the past few months - it's rock solid.
