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:

    dnf repolist | 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 EPEL repository

    sudo yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

  • Enable additional repositories to resolve dependencies

    subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"  --enable "rhel-ha-for-rhel-*-server-rpms"

  • Download and install the MYSQL repo

    sudo yum -y install https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql80-community-release-el7-3.noarch.rpm

  • Enable the MYSQL repo

    # For MySQL 8:
sudo yum -y install --enablerepo=mysql80-community --disablerepo=mysql57-community edb-as<xx>-mysql8_fdw

# For MySQL 5:
sudo yum -y install --enablerepo=mysql57-community --disablerepo=mysql80-community edb-as<xx>-mysql5_fdw

Install the package

sudo yum -y 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.
