PostgreSQL 17 64-bit for Windows FDWs

nospam@example.com (Leo Hsu and Regina Obe) — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 03:50:00 -0500

We are pleased to provide binaries for file_textarray_fdw and odbc_fdw for PostgreSQL 17 Windows 64-bit.

To use these, copy the files into your PostgreSQL 17 Windows 64-bit install folders in same named folders and then run CREATE EXTENSION as usual in the databases of your choice. More details in the packaged README.txt

These were compiled against PostgreSQL 17.2 using msys2 / mingw64 and tested against PostgreSQL 17.2 EDB windows distribution.

PGConf US 2019 Data Loading Slides up

nospam@example.com (Leo Hsu and Regina Obe) — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 18:00:00 -0400

I gave a talk at PGConf US 2019 on some of the many ways you can load data into PostgreSQL using open source tools. This is similar to the talk I gave last year but with the addition of the pgloader commandline tool and the http PostgreSQL extension.

HTML slides PDF slides

Even though it was a talk Not much about PostGIS, but just tricks for loading data, I managed to get a mouthful of PostGIS in there.

FDWS for PostgreSQL Windows 32 and 64-bit

nospam@example.com (Leo Hsu and Regina Obe) — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 00:25:00 -0500

We've updated our binaries for PostgreSQL 10 windows, both 32 and 64-bit. The 64-bit should work fine with EnterpriseDb windows as well as BigSQL.

ODBC Foreign Data wrapper - odbc_fdw on windows

nospam@example.com (Leo Hsu and Regina Obe) — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:30:00 -0400

If you are looking for odbc fdw drivers for PostgreSQL 9.5 and 9.6 refer to this newer article

One of the new features in PostgreSQL 9.1 that we've been meaning to try is the new foreign data wrapper support. Now that we are in compile mode gearing up for releasing PostGIS 2.0.0 for windows (both 32 and 64-bit), we thought we'd give the odbc_fdw a try trying to compile on windows. Last we tried we weren't successful because we couldn't get past the -lodbc required step.

It turns out there is an easy fix to the ODBC dependency issue and I'm not sure I changed the line right. In the makefile we changed -lodbc to -lodbc32. This was needed for both compiling 32-bit as well as the 64-bit. We compiled the 64-bit version under our Mingw-64 chain and 32-bit under our old Mingw gcc 3.4.5. Sadly we still don't have our mingw64 (compile for windows 32-bit compile up yet). Our ming64 for windows 32 can compile the 9.2 development branch but not the 9.1.3. Go figure. Anyrate to make a long story short -- we have 32-bit binaries for PostgreSQL (you can use in VC++ builds) and 64-bit binaries as well that you can use for the VC++ EDB builds for those who are interested in experimenting. PostgreSQL 9.1 Windows 32-bit ODBC FDW PostgreSQL 9.1 Windows 64-bit ODBC FDW

So far we've tried the PostgreSQL 64-bit data wrapper against a SQL Server 2005 DSN and it seems to work fine. Have yet to try it on other ODBC sources. We'll write up a more detailed article describing how to make the connections.

There is one trick to getting Mingw64 compiled PostgreSQL extensions to work with the Windows 64-bit EDB builds, and that is that when you compile your PostgreSQL under mingw64, you have to configure with option ----disable-float8-byval as we noted in our PostGIS Window 64 build instructions.
