Does this:

HDBODBC (SAP-driver) –> SAP HANA database

work?

Meaning, does test connection complete successfully.

What are the settings for odbc_fdw and the SAP driver?

Connection between PostgreSQL and SAP HANA database

From
Thürmann, Andreas
Date:
Yes I run it under Windows, I also have a Linux server for testing.
Under Windows I know that the driver works because i use it already in another project (MS SQL Server with
LinkedServer).
In Linux I can test the HDBODBC driver via command line and the ISQL command, this works fine.

I'm desperate about the PostgreSQL configuration. I have no idea how to configure it. I doubt the path (HDBODBC
(SAP-driver)–> SAP HANA database) myself, but i cant connect to the HDBODBC driver directly via an extension.
 
My previous assumption was that i need a extension for the foreign data wrapper, the foreign server, foreign table and
soon...
 

How can I use the system dsn in PostgreSQL?

Works fine as in you can connect to the SAP HANA database with the 
HDBODBC driver?

What are the settings/commands you are using for the various parts of 
this connection chain:

1) HDBODBC driver.

2) ISQL command.

3) odbc_fdw.

4) Foreign server creation statements.

andso on...
 

Yeah that is shown here:

https://github.com/CartoDB/odbc_fdw

In the Example section.
