Preliminary Note: Here is explained how to compile and use two additional Foreign Data Wrappers: couchdb_fdw, oracle_fdw.

The resulting compiled files can be found in the file repository of this project, and more specifically this archive.

Note: For more detailed information/explanations about preliminary settings, please refer to this page.

WARNING: Regarding oracle_fdw, this wrapper is ONLY compatible with 64-bit version of Oracle Database if compiled in 64-bit, and with 32-bit version of Oracle Database otherwise.

Not paying attention to this would result in an error message of that kind (even if the environment - ORACLE_HOME, etc - was set correctly) :

ERROR:  error connecting to Oracle: OCIEnvCreate failed to create environment handle
DETAIL:  
********** Error **********

ERROR: error connecting to Oracle: OCIEnvCreate failed to create environment handle

Two tutorials, one per architecture

TIP : Howto REMOVE ORACLE DATABASE from your COMPUTER !

{ READ this SO thread }

The six-step process to remove all things Oracle from a Windows machine:

  1. Delete the Oracle services: In the registry, go to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete everything that starts with "Oracle" (+ do the same for "ControlSet001", "ControlSet002", ...)

  2. Remove other Oracle stuff from the registry: Go to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ and delete the key ORACLE

  3. Reboot

  4. Delete all the Oracle software from the directories where you installed it

  5. Delete the Oracle software inventory: Delete the directory C:\Program Files\Oracle or C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle. You must do this no matter where you installed your Oracle software - the Oracle installer automatically writes information here.

  6. Delete all shortcuts from your Start menu.

Releasing "odbc_fdw"

Compilation is pretty straight forward (see other tutorials), just one thing to be highlighted: this wrapper depends on the odbc driver installed on your computer. In the following example, since we want to connect to a Microsoft Access database, the Makefile has to be slightly modified as follows:

 SHLIB_LINK = -lodbc32 # instead of '-lodbc'

This will link to the odbc32.dll file corresponding to the targeted platform (from System32 for 64bit, from SysWOW64 for 32bit).

How to create the MS Access database is well explained here.

    psql -c"CREATE USER MAPPING FOR postgres SERVER odbc_server OPTIONS (username 'glg', password 'glg');" -U postgres
    psql -c"CREATE FOREIGN TABLE odbc_table ( rubrique text, titre text, annee int) SERVER odbc_server OPTIONS ( database 'Test2013_ok', schema '', sql_query 'SELECT Rubrique, Rtitre, Annee FROM Formation', table 'Formation', rubrique 'Rubrique', titre 'Rtitre', annee 'Annee' );" -U postgres CREATE FOREIGN TABLE
    psql -c"SELECT * from odbc_table;" -U postgres

rubrique | titre | annee
----------+-----------+-------
rub_val | titre_val | 1902
(1 row)

Note: It came to work mainly at the time I added the missing option "schema ''" and probably
"sql_query '…'" as well...
