Education is the best way to go. How are you going to slide in postgres? "Hey

If your clients have serious concerns with open source, address them. If they
don't, call them on it. If they're in charge (and clients often are) and they
insist on paying money for inferior software, show them what it will really cost
them. If they still want to pay - hey, it's not your money that's being wasted.
