Re: [GENERAL] Accessing DB2 tables from postgresql

Hello,

I am trying to access few table present in DB2 LUW from postgres9.5 database.

I have installed unixODBC driver and connection to DB2 is working fine.

I have installed CartoDB/odbc_fdw foreign data wrappers.

I have user below commands to create foreign table:

$ create extension odbc_fdw;

$ CREATE USER MAPPING FOR postgres SERVER odbc_server_db2 options(odbc_UID '<username>', odbc_PWD '<password>');

$ CREATE FOREIGN TABLE odbc_table (CTGRY_ID INTEGER, CTGRY_CD VARCHAR(10),UPDT_TS TIMESTAMP) SERVER odbc_server_db2 OPTIONS (database 'TESTV9', schema 'schema1', table 'table1' );

You have omitted the CREATE SERVER command. Can you query the mainframe using isql ?

All commands work fine, however when I try to select data from table it throws error:

$ select * from odbc_table;

ERROR:  Executing ODBC query

Can anyone help me here? 

How can I access DB2 LUW or zOS database tables from postgres?

I used to work with MVS many years ago. Good luck with your project.
For better diagnosis open all logs in both machines (postgresql, odbc, MVS, DB2) and have a detailed view on them.
