odbc_fdw is a third party extension you will need to contact other
resources:
1) The dedicated Postgresql ODBC list:
https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-odbc/
2) The issues page for the driver maintainers:
https://github.com/CartoDB/odbc_fdw/issues
If you need immediate attention then you will need to reach out to one
of the professional support companies listed here:
https://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/
When you do the above you will need to provide more information, at least:
1) Postgres version
2) SQL Server version.
3) OS version.
4) What fdw_win64_17_bin is and where you installed it from.
5) The location of your Postgres installation and ODBC installation
