Honestly, I don't care whether MSSQL or Oracle. What I want is to
attract more users, get Postgres out of where it is and appeal even more
users. With that regard, Oracle or MSSQL doesn't matter to me.

That's why if you have some time, I'd love to listen to why do you
think there is more opportunity to replace MSSQL. We may continue that
privately as is a little bit off-topic.
