babelfish_extensions
Babelfish for PostgreSQL provides the capability for PostgreSQL to work with applications written for Microsoft SQL Server. Babelfish understands the SQL Server wire-protocol and T-SQL, the Microsoft SQL Server query and procedural language, so you don’t have to switch database drivers or rewrite all of your application queries.

DBeaver – open-source Database client
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.

The problem with SQL servers licensing costs
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.

A Technical Dive into PostgreSQL's replication mechanisms
> 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.
