TDS Foreign data wrapper

Installing on OSX

This document will show how to install tds_fdw on OSX using the Homebrew package manager for the required packages.

Install FreeTDS

The TDS foreign data wrapper requires a library that implements the DB-Library interface, such as FreeTDS.

brew install freetds

Note: If you install FreeTDS from another source, e.g. MacPorts, you might have to adjust the value for TDS_INCLUDE in the make calls below (e.g. -I/opt/local/include/freetds for MacPorts).

Install PostgreSQL

If you need to install PostgreSQL, do so by following the apt installation directions. For example, to install PostgreSQL 9.5 on Ubuntu:

brew install postgres

Or use Postgres.app: http://postgresapp.com/

Install tds_fdw

Build from release package

If you'd like to use one of the release packages, you can download and install them via something like the following:

export TDS_FDW_VERSION="2.0.4"
wget https://github.com/tds-fdw/tds_fdw/archive/v${TDS_FDW_VERSION}.tar.gz
tar -xvzf v${TDS_FDW_VERSION}.tar.gz
cd tds_fdw-${TDS_FDW_VERSION}
make USE_PGXS=1 TDS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/include/
sudo make USE_PGXS=1 install

NOTE: If you have several PostgreSQL versions and you do not want to build for the default one, first locate where the binary for pg_config is, take note of the full path, and then append PG_CONFIG=<PATH> after USE_PGXS=1 at the make commands.

Build from repository

If you would rather use the current development version, you can clone and build the git repository via something like the following:

git clone https://github.com/tds-fdw/tds_fdw.git
cd tds_fdw
make USE_PGXS=1 TDS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/include/
sudo make USE_PGXS=1 install

NOTE: If you have several PostgreSQL versions and you do not want to build for the default one, first locate where the binary for pg_config is, take note of the full path, and then append PG_CONFIG=<PATH> after USE_PGXS=1 at the make commands.

Start server

If this is a fresh installation, then start the server:

brew services start postgresql

Or the equivalent command if you are not using Homebrew.

Install extension

psql -U postgres
postgres=# CREATE EXTENSION tds_fdw;
