Dear Postgres Support Team,

Greetings!
This is  to bring to your notice that I am facing an issue with odbc_fdw
wrapper. My requirement is that I want to implement odbc_fdw extension/
wrapper in PostgreSQL 17.6.2  to read remote tables from SQL Server
(Remote db). I have the following details and attachment with
screenshots. I am working for my client (Experts.com), Need immediate
attention.

odbc_fdw is a third party extension you will need to contact other
resources:

1) The dedicated Postgresql ODBC list:

https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-odbc/

2) The issues page for the driver maintainers:

https://github.com/CartoDB/odbc_fdw/issues

If you need immediate attention then you will need to reach out to one
of the professional support companies listed here:

https://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/

When you do the above you will need to provide more information, at least:

1) Postgres version

2) SQL Server version.

3) OS version.

4) What fdw_win64_17_bin is and where you installed it from.

5) The location of your Postgres installation and ODBC installation

Tasks completed:1.  Downloaded fdw_win64_17_bin

                             2.  Odbc_fdw  extension created.

                             3. Created Foreign server  ( Reports_server)

                             4. Tested DSN between odbc and sql db
( remote live db) successfully

                             5. User mapping done: mapped ‘postgres’
user to  sql_prod_account/*****

     6. Created foreign tables.

     7. Select * from the public.”IpInfo”  failed  with driver error.

     8. Postgres user not speaking to odbc

     9. Tds_fdw files downloaded, right binary not available, not able
to create tds_fdw extension with available binaries.

    10. ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server is compatible with and DSN tested
successfully and connected via 1433 and user/password to live db

     11.  Re-started postgres service with ‘Local System Account’ and
‘Network Service’ Account.

Issue:Not able to read foreign table data ( from Remote SQL DB) due to
error.

Error:  Connecting to driver

SQL State: 58000

*

PostgreSQL service process can not load the odbc driver or connect
to the DSN defined file.

Please let me know Why I am not able to read from foreign tables,
correct binaries, and further steps to read data from remote SQL DB
tables.  A quick response is greatly appreciated.
