Data integration between PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server

In this topic I would like to describe setup of PostgreSQL integration, which works on a Linux, with MS SQL Server. As well as how to import all tables from a specific schema of MS SQL Server database into PostgreSQL without having to specify the structure of each table.

Installing tds_fdw

tds_fdw is used for the integration between PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server. This module communicates with external database using TDS protocol (Tabular Data Stream). TDS is used by such DBMS as MS SQL Server and Sybase SQL Server.
