Product Name: Specify the product name.

We are using Microsoft OLEDB Provider for ODBC Driver.

Provider: Specify the name of the provider.

We are using ODBC driver to connect to a data source, therefore select Other Data source This name will be used by the queries to populate the data from PostgreSQL.

Linked Server: Enter the desired name of the linked Server.

To configure the linked server, specify the following details on the General page. Open SQL Server management studio 🡪 Connect to SQL Server instance 🡪 In object explorer, expand Server Objects 🡪 Right-click on Linked Server andĪ dialog box New Linked Server opens.

In this article, we are going to connect to the DVDShop database, so we must change the database name in the pSQLODBC driver. The ODBC driver that points to the DemoDatabase of PostgreSQL. In the previous article, I have configured I have created a database named DVDShop on PostgreSQL 13. In this article, we will explore how we can utilize the ODBC driver to access the data of the PostgreSQL from SQL Server 2019.įor demonstration, I have installed and configured an instance of SQL Server 2019 and PostgreSQL 13 on my workstation.
