I used to think the replacement wouldn't have to do everyone MSSQL does - after all, nobody uses all of the features. But getting a core subset often isn't enough either - for example, Windows Azure SQL Database supports a core subset of features and datatypes, but I still constantly hear people say it's not enough to migrate their apps.

- recursive 13y agoIt seems to me that the group of "most entrenched developers" is still pretty big. In real life, it's the most common kind I see.
