Another thing is this, how hard could it possibly be for a MS SQL DBA

I don't think it would take a decent admin of any database to come up
to speed in a very short time as long as they were interested in
doing so.
We've been working with a consultant to re-design/optimize some
existing DB systems we have running, and his background is mostly
Oracle and DB/2. Some of the optimizations -- actually operationally
related choices on how to do things -- are remarkably off-base for
Postgres. There is a *lot* to learn about a system before one can
truly "know" it.
It would be a really great service to this community if you would
capture those issues and publish documentation (but feel free to change
or omit the names to protect the incompetent^w innocent!).
