Run SQL Server Workloads on PostgreSQL: Getting Started with Babelfish on FoundryDB
Babelfish for PostgreSQL lets you run SQL Server applications against a PostgreSQL backend with minimal code changes. Your application connects on port 1433 using the standard TDS protocol, sends T-SQL, and Babelfish translates the queries into PostgreSQL internally.
FoundryDB now offers Babelfish as a fully managed service. This post walks through provisioning, connecting, and verifying a working instance using confirmed results from Babelfish 4.8.0 on PostgreSQL 16.11.
