Today, I am releasing version 2.0.0-alpha.2 of tds_fdw, a TDS foreign data wrapper. It can be used to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. This should work on PostgreSQL 9.2+.

This is a pre-release version, so it may not be stable enough to be used in production.

New in this version:

• Fix problem accessing INFORMATION_SCHEMA views on case sensitive databases

WARNING: This version does NOT work with PostgreSQL >= 11. For such version use the latest released version of 2.0.0, even if it is still Alpha.

Today, I am releasing version 1.0.8 of tds_fdw, a TDS foreign data wrapper. It can be used to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. This should work on PostgreSQL 9.1+.

New in this version:

• Added support for PostgreSQL 9.6. See issue #101.
• Added support for tds_version 7.4 when compiled with a version of FreeTDS that supports that version. See issue #100.

tds_fdw-2.0.0-alpha.1

Today, I am releasing version 2.0.0-alpha.1 of tds_fdw, a TDS foreign data wrapper. It can be used to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. This should work on PostgreSQL 9.2+.

This is a pre-release version, so it may not be stable enough to be used in production.

New in this version:

• Removed support for PostgreSQL 9.1.
• Added support for WHERE and column pushdowns. See issue #20.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash if the remote table and local table had different definitions. See issue #51.
• Added the following foreign server options: fdw_startup_cost, and fdw_tuple_cost.
• Added the following foreign table options: schema_name, table_name, match_column_names, use_remote_estimate, and local_tuple_estimate.
• Added the column_name column option.

tds_fdw-1.0.7

Today, I am releasing version 1.0.7 of tds_fdw, a TDS foreign data wrapper. It can be used to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. This should work on PostgreSQL 9.1+.

New in this version:

• Added support for PostgreSQL 9.5. See issue #49.
• Fixed a bug that made compilation fail on PostgreSQL 9.2. See issue #43.

tds_fdw-1.0.6

Today, I am releasing version 1.0.6 of tds_fdw, a TDS foreign data wrapper. It can be used to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. This should work on PostgreSQL 9.1+.

New in this version:

• Fixed some compiler warnings that affected PostgreSQL 9.3 and earlier. See issue #34.
• Fixed a bug in which trailing white spaces were inappropriately truncated by FreeTDS's dbconvert(). See issue #35.
• Fixed a bug where tds_fdw's row count estimates for the planner had a max of INT_MAX. See issue #36.
• tds_fdw constructed tuples with BuildTupleFromCStrings(). It would convert values to C-string using FreeTDS's dbconvert(). This process had a lot of overhead. Now, tds_fdw constructs tuples with heap_form_tuple(). This allows tds_fdw to bypass the C-string conversion step for several data types, and it instead works with raw values. See issue #37.
• Fixed a bug in which binary data would be truncated if a zero byte were encountered. See issue #38.

Thanks to Ken Been (GitHub user @tskenb) for contributing several patches to this release.

Thanks also to Julio González Gil (GitHub user @juliogonzalez) for allowing the tds_fdw project to use his Jenkins continuous integration server.

Today, I am releasing version 1.0.5 of tds_fdw, a TDS foreign data wrapper. It can be used to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. This should work on PostgreSQL 9.1+.

New in this version:

• Fixed an issue that caused problems for versions older than PostgreSQL 9.4. See issue #34.
