+1 don't see why they're putting in the effort of providing managed SQL Server hosting when PostgreSQL still needs doing.

They dont have managed SQL Server hosting, just images ready to go so you dont have to buy and install it yourself.

SQL Server also has a massive user base, especially within the large enterprises that Google is trying to get as customers.

A lot of companies use SQL server. I wouldn't be surprised if it has double the installed base of PostgreSQL. Especially among the more established firms that Google seems to be targeting in their sales effort.

Double? More like 20x
