Perhaps this link may help:
https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3663/sql-server-and-postgresql-foreign-data-wrapper-configuration--part-3/

The only caveat I see offhand is the use of the 'sa' account, but I can't vouch for that being a required mapping.

Hi John,

Thanks, but I already saw that link. The problem is to installing the tds_fwd extension on postgres. And I don't know how to (never tried) compile it...

What comes with postgres by default is the postgres fdw, that allow to link 2 different postgres servers, but in this case that doesn't help me.
