Thread: Hello

My name is John Tankersley. I am sending this email to ask for
assistance with
parser error message. I am learning to code in postgresql on my system.
I am using SuSE linux distribution.  Postgresql runs fine on my system a
Athalon processor with a 1.5 gigaherz processor. I am using a book
titled "PostgreSQL"
Developers Handbook by Ewald Geschwinde. I also am using a book titled
"Practical PostgreSQL" by Oreilly.  I don't understand why sometimes I
get an error parser error message and what it means. I have been trying
to find more books on how to code in postgresql but can't seem to find
any. I would like to link two pc's together through a netgear switch and
access the database on my main machine through the client machine.
Thanks for any help.

You can ask here about a specific message.

The server machine's postmaster must be listening on a TCP/IP port; turn
on TCP/IP listening in $PGDATA/postgresql.conf.

$PGDATA/pg_hba.conf should allow access to connections from the client
machine.  Remember to make the postmaster reload its configuration after
you change either of those two files.  ("pg_ctl reload" will do that.)

Then you should be able to connect with "psql -h myserver -d mydatabase"
