I tried both JDBC FDWs (jdbc (atris) and jdbc2 (heimir sverrisson)) mentioned on the FDW wiki page and following the source install instructions, but always get this error:
root@...:/usr/share/postgresql/9.3/contrib/jdbc2_fdw-master# make clean
Makefile:53: ../../src/Makefile.global: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Makefile:54: /contrib/contrib-global.mk: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
make: *** Keine Regel, um »/contrib/contrib-global.mk« zu erstellen. Schluss.
Running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS:
# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
the Makefile.global can be found in the /usr/lib folder:
# locate Makefile.global
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/lib/pgxs/src/Makefile.global
I adjusted the Makefile regarding the relative path inside to point there, but then the second error remains and contrib-global.mk can't be located :-/
I'll continue to try the MySQL FDW, but since we already use a buggy Oracle FDW it would have been nice to stick to some generic JDBC driver.
