Обсуждение: odbc_fdw
Hi there! I built the current PostgreSQL 9.1.1 sources under Ubuntu 11.04 (in a VMware under Win7). I followed the steps in this guide: www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/04/linux-postgresql-install-and-configure-from-source It seems to work (I can run the server and connect to it with PgAdmin). Now I'd like to integrate the ODBC_FDW extension in my installation. However, I don't really understand the steps described on the download page: pgxn.org/dist/odbc_fdw/0.1.0 Can anybody tell me how to build it? I'm a software developer myself but a Linux newbie... Thank you for your help!

I'm a software developer myself but a Linux newbie... I haven't tried it, but looking at the instructions I would say: 1) Install UnixODBC. If you use Packages, make sure you install the headers too (on my RHEL system, the packages are called unixODBC and unixODBC-devel). 2) Get odbc_fdw and unzip the source. 3) Change into the source directory. 4) Run "make" and "make install" as the web page describes it (substituting the path to your configured PostgreSQL source tree). If there still is something unclear, ask for details. Yours, Laurenz Albe

Is it maybe > already built? Looks like it. You can PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/:$PATH make USE_PGXS=1 clean to delete already built files. Then you can rebuild. After building, use PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/:$PATH make USE_PGXS=1 install to install. Yours, Laurenz Albe

Some linux distros use iODBC and others use unixODBC but some apps install the one they use so you can get a fail system with both libraries "punching for being the king".

Oh, didn't see that! Now it says: root@ubuntu:/home/user/Downloads/odbc_fdw-0.1.0# PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/:$PATH make USE_PGXS=1 make: Nothing to be done for `all'. I remember trying a few options with the make command. Is it maybe already built? Am 30.11.2011 09:46, schrieb Albe Laurenz: > Florian Schwendener wrote: >> Thank you for your help.

Hi Laurenz Thank you for your help. As I know little about Linux and only a bit about make files, I really don't know if I'm doing the right thing. I've typed this: root@ubuntu:/home/user/Downloads/odbc_fdw-0.1.0# PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/:$PATH make USE_PGXS=1 make make: *** No rule to make target `make'. Stop. You see, I haven't come far... Am I doing something wrong? Thanks again!

Thank you! That did it! I was able to execute the CREATE EXTENSION command. I hope it will work from this point on, otherwise I know where to findhelp:) Thanks again.

The comment "I believe" seems to suggest that you are not sure - maybe you can ask somebody who knows SQL Server for: - DSN: The name of your ODBC data source - Name of Database, schema and table. > Sadly, if the extension can't execute the query, it just says "Opps". > This isn't very helpful.

Hi again! I'm stuck again, now with the extension itself. I've tried like everything I could think of filling the fields in the example on [1]. My database is named "testdb", my table "testtable" and the (default) schema is (I believe) "dbo". Does anybody know the values I need to enter in the CREATE FOREIGN TABLE command? The odbc-connection (named "odbc-test") works fine. The database server is a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. Sadly, if the extension can't execute the query, it just says "Opps". This isn't very helpful. Should I contact the author directly? Thanks again for your help.
