Installing MySQL Foreign Data Wrapper on SLES 12 x86_64 v2

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

  • Install Postgres on the same host. See:

  • Set up the EDB repository.

    Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you don't need to perform this step.

    To determine if your repository exists, enter this command:

    zypper lr -E | grep enterprisedb

    If no output is generated, the repository isn't installed.

    To set up the EDB repository:

    1. Go to EDB repositories.

    2. Select the button that provides access to the EDB repository.

    3. Select the platform and software that you want to download.

    4. Follow the instructions for setting up the EDB repository.

  • Install the MySQL community repository:

    sudo wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql80-community-release-sles12-5.noarch.rpm
    rpm --import /etc/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql-2022
  • Enable the MySQL8 repository and disable the MySQL 5 repository:

    sudo zypper modifyrepo -e mysql80-community
    sudo zypper modifyrepo -d mysql57-community
  • Activate the required SUSE module:

    sudo SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/12.5/x86_64
    sudo SUSEConnect -p sle-sdk/12.5/x86_64
    
  • Refresh the metadata:

    sudo zypper refresh

Install the package

sudo zypper -n install edb-as<xx>-mysql<y>_fdw

Where <xx> is the version of EDB Postgres Advanced server and <y> is the version of MySQL to be installed. For example if EDB Postgres Version is 15 and MySQL version is 8 then the package name is edb-as15-mysql8-fdw.
