Hi,

I am trying to migrate postgre sql database to MS sql database. MS sql server is a

remote server. I am trying to do it with linked server but I am getting (error 7303

Data source not found and no default driver specified.)

What I have tried:

I have downloaded ODBC driver(64 bit) for PostgreSQL and setup a data source and on

MS sql server tried to add linked server with windows authentication but I am getting error 7303

(do I have to setup any driver or data source in MS sql server? what are the requirement of ms sql server to create linked server ? )

Solution 1

I doubt that a linked server is going to work with PostgreSQL.
I once wrote a console application that can convert SQL Server to PostgreSQL, maybe you will find it useful, you just have to rewrite it to do the reverse thing :)
Convert SQL Server Database to PostgreSQL[^]
Another option might be this conversion tool: PostgreSQL to MS SQL Migration and Sync[^]
