I had an exec level interviewer ask me about migrating from sql server to pg and deep down I knew it would be a nightmare but also knew that I would have to say its ok in order to continue on with the interview process, I paused and said that it was possible but would likely require a lot of work....luckily didn't get that job

Was he/she testing your database knowledge or hoping you'd be able to fix the current issue at hand?
I think it was a "cost saving" proposal because the technical interviewer had already gone through the database nitty gritty.
