I just started a MySQL compatibility functions project on pgfoundry.org.
I suggest starting an MSSQL one as well. I'd be interested if you
could mail me your code for your functions so far because many of the
MySQL functions are copied from MSSQL...

Hi.
In the course of porting a database from Microsoft SQL Server to
PostgreSQL I have rewritten a few of the date and string functions in
pl/pgSQL. Started with just datepart, datediff and soundex, but once
started I continued and rewrote all date/time and string functions
supported by MS SQL 2005. Leaving only compatibility with
unicode-handling and binary objects (that MS SQL Server for some reason
overloads string functions to work with).
I guess I am not the only one moving from MS SQL Server, so is there
interest for others to use my work, as a contrib perhaps. And how should
I continue from here in that case?
