Continuously syncing .. we have database in mssql. Ideally we'd like to connect to the mssql databases and pull out the fields/content we required and populate that in a postgres database.
When all else fails you can go the ODBC route. I have done that through
Access to create a linked Postgres table that I can populate from other
data sources.
Here are some articles that seem to be doing something similar using SQL
Server and Postgres. In the article Postgres is installed on a Linux
box, but that does matter for the ODBC usage. :

Hi .. we're on a hunt to locate either pgloader or the tds_fdw
extension to assist us with pulling data FROM a Microsoft sql server
(we're a windows-based postgres installation).
So are we taking about a one time operation or continuously syncing or something in between?
Is this the proper way to handle the process?
Depends on the answer to the above.
