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.

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. : https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3661/creating-twoway-data-access-between-sql-server-and-postgresql--part-1/ https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3662/sql-server-and-postgresql-linked-server-configuration--part-2/ > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Adrian Klaver [mailto:adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2015 1:26 PM > To: Mammarelli, Joanne T; pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Best tool to pull from mssql > > On 11/10/2015 10:21 AM, Mammarelli, Joanne T wrote: >> 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. > > > -- > Adrian Klaver > adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
