Hi, please see this section of Babelfish Linked Servers doc.

hello @staticlibs can you please provide any link to setup ODBC drivers for babelfish as i am new to linux environment and babelfish

i am getting below error [01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib 'psqlodbcw.so' : file not found [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect

@madanparedla , to connect to Babelfish over ODBC from Linux you need to install Microsoft ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server and use connection string like this:

DRIVER={ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server};SERVER=127.0.0.1,1433;UID=jdbc_user;PWD=12345678;TrustServerCertificate=yes

Just I don't think this is needed at all for Linked Servers/FDW setup. I can confirm that Babelfish doc above is correct and linking between SQL Server and Babelfish works in both directions, and either of SQL Server and Babelfish can be on Windows or on Linux (PolyBase is required when SQL Server runs on Linux, but that is not a Babelfish limitation).

If you have more general questions about Babelfish, this bugtracker may be not the best place for that. It may be better to continue it on some medium for talks, like Babelfish Discussions board. For Windows-specific questions you can use public Discord server (or other social links) from my GitHub profile.
