SQL Server To PostgreSQL Migration Reference

This document provides a reference for migrating from Microsoft SQL Server to PostgreSQL. It lists the data type conversions between the two databases in 34 rows, such as converting SQL Server's BIGINT to PostgreSQL's BIGINT. It also shows how to convert 2 common SQL functions, such as replacing SQL Server's DATEADD with PostgreSQL's INTERVAL expression and SQL Server's ISNULL with PostgreSQL's COALESCE.
