npgsql implements oledb, I thought, which hooks right up to the .NET
database glue? That should just hook up to your existing SQL code. If
your SQL code follows the standards, it should work with little or no
tweaking.
however....
if you are using any Microsoft SQL Server specific features, you'll need
to rewrite those parts to switch to /anything/ else. Any transact*sql
procedures will need rewriting into pl/pgsql.
SQL Server's ETL tool should be able to copy your schema and data into
postgres tables.
