Re: ODBC Connection to External Data Source

What you're looking for is dblink it's in the contrib directory of the
postgres distribution. Not sure how it works as I haven't used it but it
does have some documentation.

Ben

Subject: [ODBC] ODBC Connection to External Data Source

I am looking for procedures on how to connect postgres to an external data
source (ODBC to Oracle). I then will query the external data source to write
into postgres relations. I can't find information on how to set up the ODBC
connection from postgres to Oracle so I can use SQL in postgres to access
data in the Oracle database. I have the Oracle ODBC drivers install and can
access them with Excel. I need to also access the database from postgres.
Any suggestions on where I can find information on how to make this OBDC
connection?

Thanks!

Paul
