After googling all the acronyms, I would like to know what features you believe SSIS, SSRS, SSAS and HA give you can not get from Postgres with drop in replacements.
Except maybe for that everything is already integrated and "just works".
What I'm asking is if you can specify some elements of the stack you mentioned, that is hard to replicated or unique to SQL Server?
- MichaelGG 13y agoWell first, integrated and "just works" are pretty high on the importance scale. Searching for PG clustering gets me a wiki with a matrix of different solutions, with apparently the main suggestion being DRBD. So just to start off, I've got to evaluate a number of third party products or start quizzing community members to figure out which is the most likely to survive or put me in a good position. They might not be "hard to replicate" or unique, but having great options in-box, that are extremely simple to configure - that's worth a ton. If I was running a large-scale operation and SQL Server was costing me millions a year, things might be different.
