Re: Connecting to a PostgreSQL Server remotely

Even I'm facing the same problem.
In postgresql.conf,i changed the listen address to *, also i enabled all the
tcp options so that when i Exectute the statement EXEC SQL CONNECT TO
'tcp:postgresql://[ip address]:5432/dbname [user name and password] the tcp
connection is established but i always get -402 sqlcode meaning that the
connection is not established.

Thanks,
