    Please consider Postgresql as an alternative repository database. With licensing rules changing at every version - it's increasingly becoming extremely expensive to use MSSQL - especially on-prem. Most recently, I believe the rules are a minimum of 4 cores - which is around $8000.

    If I were starting from scratch now, I would simply use multiple Postgresql instances and look for an alternative to Redgate Monitor that did not require MSSQL.

    I do not know if the babelfish project is yet at the point that it might help with this (https://babelfishpg.org/docs/usage/migration/) and I do appreciate that full on support for a completely different engine is a big ask - but I think things are going in that direction anyway.
