You know of the SQLMODE ANSI (SQL92-entry-level-conform?).

Usually INTERNAL sqlmode is used, which has some extensions,
some minor changes to the standard.

The number and size of problems occuring when switching from
one database system to another one depends on the number
and difficulty of extensions to the standard which were used in the
database you used so far.
Noone can (without knowing your schemas, queries and so on) say
if your hairs will become grey when trying to switch or if it is just a work
of 1 day, no matter which one is the 'old' database and which one is the 'new' one.

Give it a try and let us know if you succeeded or where detailed info
will help for a detail-problem.
