@scottalanmiller I know. I always prefer postgres when available. but there is a chicken-egg problem: small companies buy software from small devel companies which - for whatever reason I don't know- develop only in .NET with MS SQL.

Same experience. 99% ERP for SMB are made with MS SQL. Usually they are pretty crap. Some stuff from walter kluwers is getting better, though.
