I think this effort is fundamentally misguided. It will mean a
maintenance nightmare for you. You would be much better off migrating
your app to rid it of these SQLServerisms, especially those that require
backend changes. If you have layered your application correctly, so that
the places it calls SQL are relatively confined, then this should not be
terribly difficult. If you have not, then you have bigger problems than
these anyway.
