Very cool! RDMP platform databases schemas are quite simple SQL. The only thing that might be a bump is RowVer optimisations which have ENABLE CHANGE_TRACKING added last year (#23). It would be pretty awesome to be able to support postgres for the core platform db. The RDMP API has support for specifying schemas in a cross platform way (which is how it can create Query Caches in postgress / Oracle / MySql) but the big barrier for the main platform dbs is porting all the table creation and upgrade scripts to the other DBMS languages

This would mean not having to do that which would be very cool if it works
