Thread: Changing access permissions without re-starting the database
Hi Forum,
Is there a way to change the database access permissions for different IP addresses without having to re-start PostgreSQL? I often want to preclude all IP address but one from accessing the database. Currently, I change the pg_hba.conf file and re-start the database but I would like to be able to do the same thing without having to re-start.
Thanks in advance for your response
