This package includes 5 extensions:

  • babelfishpg_tsql
    • Supports the tsql language.
  • babelfishpg_tds
    • Supports the tds connection.
  • babelfishpg_common
    • Supports the various datatypes in MSSQL.
  • babelfishpg_money
    • supports the money type in MSSQL. This is a variation of the opensource fixeddecimal extension.
  • babelfishpg_unit
    • Unit testing framework for babelfish.

How do I build the extensions?

The following build instructions comply with Ubuntu 20.04 and Amazon Linux 2 environment.

Build the Postgres engine

  1. First install dependent tools and libraries

    Install postgresql-devel, libicu, libxml2, openssl and uuid-devel packages in order to build Babelfish.

    You'll also need to install gcc, gcc-c++, java and bison.

    sudo apt-get install uuid-dev openjdk-8-jre \
                    libicu-dev libxml2-dev openssl libssl-dev python-dev \
                    libossp-uuid-dev libpq-dev pkg-config g++ build-essential bison

    For RHEL-flavoured distributions, this is the command for dealing with the required dependencies:

    sudo yum install libicu-devel libxml2-devel \
                 openssl-devel uuid-devel postgresql-devel gcc gcc-c++ java

  2. Now it's time to build the Postgres engine. In the Postgres engine directory, run these sequence of commands to build the PG engine modified for Babelfish (Github repo: https://github.com/babelfish-for-postgresql/postgresql_modified_for_babelfish):

    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/postgres/ --without-readline --without-zlib --enable-debug --enable-cassert CFLAGS="-ggdb" --with-libxml --with-uuid=ossp --with-icu
make -j 4 2>error.txt
make install
make check

    Alternatively, if you want to build the engine with SSL support, configure the PG engine with --with-openssl:

    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/postgres/ --without-readline --without-zlib --enable-debug --enable-cassert CFLAGS="-ggdb" --with-libxml --with-uuid=ossp --with-icu --with-openssl

    Also build and install the extensions because uuid-ossp.so is a runtime dependency for babelfish:

    cd contrib && make && sudo make install

Install & build dependencies

  1. Get the latest version of cmake (version 3+ is required)

    To get and use the latest version of cmake:

    wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.20.6/cmake-3.20.6-linux-x86_64.sh
sh cmake-3.20.6-linux-x86_64.sh

  2. Install ANTLR

    The babelfishpg_tsql contrib has a plug-in parser generated by ANTLR, which depends on cmake and antlr4-cpp-runtime-4.9.3. Unfortunately, there aren't binaries for C++ targets available. You'll also need have uuid-devel installed in order to install antlr4-cpp-runtime-4.9.3.

    First copy the jar file in contrib/babelfishpg_tsql/antlr/thirdparty/antlr/ to another location:

    cd babelfish_extensions/contrib/babelfishpg_tsql/antlr/thirdparty/antlr/
sudo cp antlr-4.9.3-complete.jar /usr/local/lib

    Compile antlr4:

    wget http://www.antlr.org/download/antlr4-cpp-runtime-4.9.3-source.zip
unzip -d antlr4 antlr4-cpp-runtime-4.9.3-source.zip 
cd antlr4
mkdir build && cd build 
cmake .. -DANTLR_JAR_LOCATION=/usr/local/lib/antlr-4.9.3-complete.jar -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DWITH_DEMO=True
make
sudo make install

    Copy libantlr4-runtime to postgres/lib

    cp /usr/local/lib/libantlr4-runtime.so.4.9.3 ~/postgres/lib/
    • If you come across the error
    -- Checking for module 'uuid'
--   No package 'uuid' found
CMake Error at /usr/local/share/cmake-3.21/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:554 (message):
    A required package was not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
    /usr/local/share/cmake-3.21/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:776 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
    CMakeLists.txt:44 (pkg_check_modules)

    Check that you have uuid-devel installed. If so, go to antlr4/CMakeLists.txt and comment out the line pkg_check_modules(UUID REQUIRED uuid) by adding a # to the beginning of the line.

    More information about installing ANTLR4 can be found at this link.

  3. Set environment variables and paths

    • Set the PG_CONFIG environment variable to where you installed the DB engine postgresql_modified_for_babelfish. For example, I installed it under ~/postgres (the default location), so I set PG_CONFIG as follows:
    export PG_CONFIG=~/postgres/bin/pg_config
    • Set PG_SRC to where the DB engine source package is as we need access to a few engine source files in order to build the Babelfish extensions. For example:
    export PG_SRC=~/workplace/postgresql_modified_for_babelfish
    • Set the cmake environment variable to where you installed cmake (as defined above in step 2). For example:
    export cmake=~/workplace/cmake-3.20.6-linux-x86_64/bin/cmake
    • Update the file contrib/babelfishpg_tsql/antlr/CMakeLists.txt with the correct antlr4-runtime path (if not there already). For example:
    SET (MYDIR /usr/local/include/antlr4-runtime/)

Build the extensions

make and make install each extension within the extension project's contrib directory:

cd contrib/babelfishpg_money
make && make install
cd ../babelfishpg_common
make && make install
cd ../babelfishpg_tds
make && make install
cd ../babelfishpg_tsql
make && make install

Build babelfishpg_unit extension if you want to run/add unit tests (Optional):

cd contrib/babelfishpg_unit
make && make install

How to install the extensions and how to connect via SQLCMD?

  1. Install the SQL server command line tools by following steps 1 - 3 under Install the SQL Server command-line tools. Use the RHEL7 URL in step 1.

    • For convenience, add /opt/mssql-tools/bin/ and ~/postgres/bin to your PATH environment variable. This enables you to run the tools without specifying the full path. For Z shell (the default shell for Cloud Desktop), add the following lines to your ~/.zshrc file:
    export PATH=/opt/mssql-tools/bin:$PATH
export PATH=~/postgres/bin:$PATH

  2. From where you installed postgres in the ./configure step adjust the paths of these commands and run them to start the Postgres server:

    ~/postgres/bin/initdb -D ~/postgres/data/
~/postgres/bin/pg_ctl -D ~/postgres/data/ -l logfile start

  • Modify ~/postgres/data/postgresql.conf by uncommenting and adjusting the following 2 properties:

    listen_addresses = '*'
shared_preload_libraries = 'babelfishpg_tds'

  • Modify ~/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf to allow connections from allowed IP addresses, replacing 10.x.y.z with your IP address. E.g.

      host    all             all     10.x.y.z/32            trust

  • Now run this to apply the changes:

    ~/postgres/bin/pg_ctl -D ~/postgres/data/ -l logfile restart
  1. Additionally, if you want to configure the babelfish server with SSL enabled:

  • Create private key and certificate as mentioned here.

  • Modify ~/postgres/data/postgresql.conf by uncommenting and adjusting the following 3 properties as mentioned here:

    ssl = on
ssl_cert_file = 'server.crt'
ssl_key_file = 'server.key'

  • Modify ~/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf to allow SSL connections from allowed IP addresses, replacing 10.x.y.z with your IP address. E.g.

    hostssl    all             all     10.x.y.z/32            trust

  • Now run this to apply the changes:

    ~/postgres/bin/pg_ctl -D ~/postgres/data/ -l logfile restart

  1. Connect via psql using the command ~/postgres/bin/psql -U your_user_name. Create the extension and set up essential parameters. Please be aware you need to choose either 'single-db' or 'multi-db' mode during this provisioning step and you CAN NOT change it later. Refer to our documentation page for more information on 'single-db' vs 'multi-db' mode.

    CREATE USER babelfish_user WITH CREATEDB CREATEROLE PASSWORD '12345678' INHERIT;
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS babelfish_db;
CREATE DATABASE babelfish_db OWNER babelfish_user;
\c babelfish_db
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "babelfishpg_tds" CASCADE;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA sys to babelfish_user;
ALTER SYSTEM SET babelfishpg_tsql.database_name = 'babelfish_db';
ALTER SYSTEM SET babelfishpg_tds.set_db_session_property = true;
ALTER DATABASE babelfish_db SET babelfishpg_tsql.migration_mode = 'single-db'|'multi-db';
SELECT pg_reload_conf();
CALL SYS.INITIALIZE_BABELFISH('babelfish_user');
    • If you run into errors connecting to psql such as psql: error: could not connect to server: No such file or directory try giving permissions by using this command instead: 
      sudo ~/postgres/bin/psql -d postgres -U your_user_name
    • If you want to install babelfishpg_unit extension, run the following command after connecting from psql endpoint (switch to the database where babelfish extensions are installed): 
      \c babelfish_db
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "babelfishpg_unit";

  2. Try connecting to Babelfish via SQLCMD

    sqlcmd -S localhost -U babelfish_user -P 12345678

    Alternatively, use the -N and -C flags to request encryption and trust the server certificate respectively:

    sqlcmd -N -C -S localhost -U babelfish_user -P 12345678

  3. You can query the pg_stat_ssl view to see if the connection is encrypted using SSL:

    1> select * from pg_stat_ssl where pid = @@spid
2> go
pid ssl version cipher bits client_dn client_serial issuer_dn

How to run the unit tests?

Run the following command from psql endpoint using ~/postgres/bin/psql -U your_user_name -d babelfish_db:

SELECT * FROM babelfishpg_unit.babelfishpg_unit_run_tests();

How to run the JDBC regression tests?

  1. Install Maven: https://maven.apache.org/install.html
  2. cd to test/JDBC
