What could be the reason for the integrator's refusal to implement the 1C configuration with PostgreSQL in favor of MS SQL?

Question

PostgreSQL

At the planning stage, the option of transferring the existing program to the 1C platform using PostgreSQL was discussed. but yesterday a letter came that we will implement on MS SQL. What can be pitfalls? in the current program, the FireBird database occupies more than 80GB and there are 3 such databases. Or am I worrying in vain?

Answer 1

The main pitfall is that you will have to buy a license for MS SQL Server itself and a license for MS Windows Server, on which this DBMS will be deployed.

Answer 2

They don’t know how to configure Linux and postgres
They have a % of sales of MS products You are not worried
in vain
If you understand why you need postgres - you need to insist on your
decision

Answer 3

For those who write that 1s was sharpened under ms sql: ask your dba what he thinks about 1s on ms sql. I'm afraid the answer will surprise you a little. This time.
Second: in my experience - look for another integrator. We generally had to leave 1s, because. none of those who called themselves "integrator 1s" could even submit a commercial offer for our needs.
You are the customer and the decision is yours. The integrator must justify the choice, and you must approve it. If this process does not exist - just drive it.

Answer 4

Exceptionally loot.
They will also tell you about the complexities of setup and support. I honestly don't understand what it's about.
80 GB, so what? If you buy a separate server, then give it more memory and a couple of ssds (for wal and the bases themselves)
In general, even large integrators behave inappropriately when it comes to non-Windows solutions. What can I say, even a license for a 1s server cannot be calculated normally. In fact, the only time I received a complete, detailed and exhaustive answer was when I signed off on Habré in PM against the backdrop of a dispute in the comments to the article.

Answer 5

a little aside: and in this situation, in fact, who are you?
customer? and then it bothers you a lot? insist on your own or change the integrator.
you pay money. you don't want to buy msskul and winserver and antivirus just because "they don't know how or don't want to". just tell them directly - work, or we will find another integrator. good - 1s-nicknames are like dirt. for which special thanks to them.
if you are an integrator contractor, then you can already ask why-why. maybe financial interest from sales, maybe they don’t know how to corny or they want to put everything on the knurled, but with postgrey they are afraid that there will be risks ...
although my gut says that in any case there will be hemorrhoids - with whine, with potheat)))
