The migration from MSSQL can be difficult, and needs a lot of manual work. The concept of procedures is very different. In MSSQL is natural returning multirecordset from procedures. This is not possible in Postgres, where design of procedures (or all design) is similar to Oracle. It is possible. I know some customers that did successful migrations from Sybase to Postgres (Sybase had the same roots like MSSQL).

Hi Pavel,
Kindly let me know the following functionality can be possible in postgresql. If possible,provide me with a sample program.
2. Creating Dynamic procedure in postgresql. because We have dynamic procedure in SQL server, On execution of this Procedure, another two procedures will be Created dynamically.

Hello Muthukumar,
We maintain a tool to migrate from SQL Server to PostgreSQL: sqlserver2pgsql
You can use it to convert your SQL schema.
It can generate Pentaho Data Integrator (Kettle) job to migrate all the data.
Unfortunately , it does not migrate procedures and functions. Transact-SQL is very different from PostgreSQL's many PL languages. These would need a manual migration.
Hope this tool can be of any help!
Cordialement,
