You gave no reasons initially ... and with facilities being added all the 
time, the reason to change may evaporate before a change is made?
Have you looked at the alternatives as well since you seem to have some work

to do rather than simply changing the data source?

I'm being told I have to switch to MSSQL or Oracle but the customers can't 
provide justification to do that as yet and since we are only up to a couple

of gigabytes of data replicated across machines I am always looking for 
informed explanations of why a switch is necessary ;) i.e. why one database 
may be more appropriate than another.

The lack of proper comparison information does make it difficult at times :(
