Though this does depend on if T-SQL was used instead of standard SQL. T-SQL is MS's stored procedure language similar to how Oracle has PL/SQL. You could port the stored procedures to pg/sql, though that is something that could take time and depend on how large/complex Xalt is and an application. And if you were wondering how to literally dump an MS SQL Server DB. You can do it from the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. You can export to any ODBC database or to a CSV file if you wanted.
