Hey went ahead and tried to query across machines and facing following error:
SELECT * FROM dblink_connect('host=x.x.x.x port=5432 dbname=postgres user=postgres password=test') could not connect to server: Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060) Is the server running on host "x.y.z.com" (x.x.x.x) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? Tried modifying pg_hba as follows: 1st try host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5 2nd try host all all .z.com md5 postgresql.conf looks good for connections and authentication: listen_addresses = '*' Please suggest? Thanks...
