MSSQL is a beast of a RDBMS. There’s little it can’t do better than Postgres, so you either have to read up on it or the niche you’re in doesn’t fit.

The db that makes you use bit instead of boolean is a beast? I disagree. IMO it’s one of those technologies waiting to die.

If your niche is storing booleans in the DB… then I could see it matters just a bit? Otherwise it’s a stupid legacy nuisance with zero prod impact.

You could’ve pointed out the lackluster json support or lack of generalized indexes, but this? Come on.
