What is Babelfish?

Allows Microsoft SQL Server applications to work on Aurora PostgreSQL with little to no code changes!

The Problem

You have apps built for MS SQL Server, but want to use Aurora PostgreSQL for better performance and lower cost.

Traditional approach:

• Rewrite entire application
• Change all SQL queries
• Expensive and time-consuming

Babelfish Solution

Application (SQL Server Client Driver)
        ↓
    Uses T-SQL commands
        ↓
    Babelfish layer (translator)
        ↓
    Converts T-SQL → PostgreSQL
        ↓
    Aurora PostgreSQL

How It Works

Babelfish = Translator

• Sits inside Aurora PostgreSQL
• Understands T-SQL (Microsoft's SQL language)
• Translates T-SQL commands to PostgreSQL
• Your app thinks it's talking to SQL Server!
