MSSQL ? As in Microsoft SQL Server? I have heard this argument a lot and all the comparisons I have seen are specific benchmarks on specialized hardware. My own personal experience wasn’t anything like the benchmarks

MSSQL still has a few features that set it apart from Postgres. Off the top of my head are Filestream (basically storing files in the database while still having them accessible as files on the filesystem) and temporal tables without the need for extensions.

Personally if I were choosing the tech stack for my company I'd still go for Postgres though

By "few years" he has to mean 10 to 15 years. ;)
