I am aware of that - but at the end it's essentially the only DBMS (except for Sybase because of their common roots)
thatworks that way.
A migration from SQL Server to Oracle (or MySQL or DB2 or Firebird) would have the same problems.

One very important aspect of a migration is to also migrate your mindset and the way you solve problems (especially
whenmigrating between two products that behave so differently).
The best practices for System A are not always the best practices for System B
Insisting on "But this is the way we did it in System A" is a pretty sure recipe for a failing migration.
Note that this is true in both directions: if you apply best practices from Postgres or Oracle when migrating _to_ SQL
Serveryou are in for very nasty surprises as well.
