Question

Working on Azure PostGresSQL, trying to import a table present in another database of postgres from a diferrent database.

bBoth the databases are on same server.

create EXTENSION postgres_fdw;

CREATE SERVER postgresPtDB FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw OPTIONS (host 'xxxxxazure.com', dbname 'Product', port '5432');
CREATE USER MAPPING FOR xxxx SERVER postgres_PtDB OPTIONS (user 'xxxx', password 'dxxxx');
IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA rw limit to (abc) FROM SERVER postgres_PtDB INTO rw;
CREATE foreign TABLE "abcde"
(
    

".

.

.

.

.

)

SERVER postgres_PtDB;

Till this point all the statements worked perfect and even created table since i can see it if I expand the database.

But, when I do this I see the error could not connect to server "postgres_ptdb"

select*from "abcde"

Any leads is appreciated. Thanks :)

Hi Aravind,

I see that the postgres_ptdb extension v. 1.0 is supported: PostgreSQL extensions in Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Single Server

But what I would like to verify is if you have the network access from Azure services enabled: Connecting from Azure

There should be the ability to enable Azure services to connect to your PostgreSQL instance. Please verify that this is enabled.

Hello Mike, 

Yes, The access has been enabled already and still I had encountered the above problem.

The server I am connecting to is something like this "somename.postgres.database.azure.com"

Thanks,

Aravind

Could you try something for me. Please do the following:

  1. Perform an nslookup somename.postgres.database.com (from a cmd prompt)
  2. Take the resulting IP Address and add that to the Allow List

If the above does not resolve this issue, I can have this issue investigated further by enabling a one-time incident ticket if you currently do not have an Azure Support Plan.

Regards,

Mike
