Assuming using this:

https://github.com/ZhengYang/odbc_fdw

I believe that should be username and password per above link:

"CREATE USER MAPPING FOR postgres
SERVER odbc_server
OPTIONS (username 'root', password '');
"

Is the above the database name as well as the DSN name?

Is the column name case sensitive, because below it shows up as X?

I would try without the sql_query and sql_count queries as they are
optional.
