DBeaver works surprisingly nicely with less popular DBs. I work with Babelfish for PostgreSQL [1], it supports connections with SQL Server client libs. Most GUI client tools (like SSMS) expect "real" SQL Server on the other end of the wire - depend on various system views for DB introspection, so only partially work with Babelfish. Even if client tool is based on JDBC (like SQuirell SQL), it doesn't guarantee that this tool won't use additional SQL Server-specific querues for i trospection. DBeaver is much better at this, I guess it is using JDBC API or DB-neutral INFORMATION_SCHEMA views.

Was just about to write that AWS does that, but no, it's only for MS SQL Server: https://babelfishpg.org/, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide....

Migration to Postgres from MS SQL Server doesn't have to be a complete app rewrite. Obviously any .Net components would be a problem, but if it's just a matter of existing clients and T-SQL, there's always Babelfish.

> moving some data from SQL Server to Postgres

I don't have any first-hand experience with Postgres replication to share, just, when moving DB from MSSQL, Babelfish extensions for Postgres (https://babelfishpg.org/) may be of interest.

Apple also worked on reducing seizures:

Apple users can dim flashing lights in settings

For those that are interested in the technical detail, Apple has posted some code on GitHub, along with a paper describing the algorithm and approach.
