That is not true at all, for 99 percent of the internal corp
applications that use MS SQL server or even Oracle you can use
Postgresql instead. Postgresql has rich stored procedure support and
you can write procs in PLpgsql (similar to Oracle PLsql), Perl,PHP,Java
and many others. The PLperl support is just incredible on Linux
servers, you can do some real cool things with Perl Stored Procedures.
