Is this just data, or are you using TSQL in Microsoft, or some other 
language like php or vb to access the data?

If it's in TransactSQL you'll have to learn a new language if you don't 
know on of the dozen or so supported by postgresql to write your own 
user defined function.  Some of the languages available are plruby, 
plperl, plphp, plpgsql, plsql, plpython, pltcl, and of course, plC.

plpgsql, pltcl, and plsql are the most "shaken out" with lots of 
development having been done in them.  C requires a fair investment in 
your time and effort to begin development in, and generally isn't 
recommend for beginners.   plpgsql is pretty much the default language, 
and a lot has been done in it.  For some examples, see:

IF you have written an app in vb/c# etc... you can probably just get the 
oledb connector and start hacking your code around that.

http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/oledb/projdisplay.php

Also, the mono project appears to be working on an OLEDB connector too 
that might work.

Or, you could abandon whatever you've used and start it over in php, perl, 
C, or whatever else you want, using the native postgresql connection libs 
for those languages...
