Adding privilege for PostgreSQL to access the databases from any point in network

In my local network each machine may have PostgreSQL database. For accessing the PostgreSQL databases in one machine to any machine, we need to add some permissions to the PostgreSQL configuration file.

For accessing PostgreSQL databases in Machine1 to Machine2, we need to change the file pg_hba.conf (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.2\data).
The changes are the following :

Add the line on IPv4 local connections :

host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0 trust

Hence the final code as :

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5

host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0 trust

The file pg_hba.conf has attached here. Just replace the file in the location C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.2\data.

# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
# ===================================================
#
# Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the PostgreSQL
# documentation for a complete description of this file.  A short
# synopsis follows.
#
# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
# databases they can access.  Records take one of these forms:
#
# local      DATABASE  USER  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
# host       DATABASE  USER  ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
# hostssl    DATABASE  USER  ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
# hostnossl  DATABASE  USER  ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
#
# (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
#
# The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain
# socket, "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket,
# "hostssl" is an SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a
# plain TCP/IP socket.
#
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samerole", "replication", a
# database name, or a comma-separated list thereof. The "all"
# keyword does not match "replication". Access to replication
# must be enabled in a separate record (see example below).
#
# USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or a
# comma-separated list thereof.  In both the DATABASE and USER fields
# you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names
# from a separate file.
#
# ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches.  It can be a
# host name, or it is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is
# an integer (between 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that
# specifies the number of significant bits in the mask.  A host name
# that starts with a dot (.) matches a suffix of the actual host name.
# Alternatively, you can write an IP address and netmask in separate
# columns to specify the set of hosts.  Instead of a CIDR-address, you
# can write "samehost" to match any of the server's own IP addresses,
# or "samenet" to match any address in any subnet that the server is
# directly connected to.
#
# METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "password", "gss", "sspi",
# "krb5", "ident", "peer", "pam", "ldap", "radius" or "cert".  Note that
# "password" sends passwords in clear text; "md5" is preferred since
# it sends encrypted passwords.
#
# OPTIONS are a set of options for the authentication in the format
# NAME=VALUE.  The available options depend on the different
# authentication methods -- refer to the "Client Authentication"
# section in the documentation for a list of which options are
# available for which authentication methods.
#
# Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other
# special characters must be quoted.  Quoting one of the keywords
# "all", "sameuser", "samerole" or "replication" makes the name lose
# its special character, and just match a database or username with
# that name.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
# a SIGHUP signal.  If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect.  You can
# use "pg_ctl reload" to do that.

# Put your actual configuration here
# ----------------------------------
#
# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
# "host" records.  In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL
# listen on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses
# configuration parameter, or via the -i or -h command line switches.



# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 md5
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
#host    replication     postgres        127.0.0.1/32            md5
#host    replication     postgres        ::1/128                 md5

Tuning postgresql for better performance - ADempiere ERP

PostgreSQL is a highly customizable relational database management system (RDBMS) with a dazzling array of configuration options.   The postgresql.conf file is located in the \PostgreSQL\9.x\Data folder. You can tune the following sections of the postgresql.conf file to get the best performance.     CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION In this section change the following entries to the following: max_connections = 350 authentication_timeout = 7min RESOURCE USAGE (except WAL) In this section change the following entries to the following: shared_buffers = 256MB : PG Backends that need to access tables first look for needed blocks in this cache. If they are already there, they can continue processing right away. The change can be made with a   postmaster  command-line flag or by changing the value of   shared_buffers temp_buffers = 32MB max_prepared_transactions = 20 work_mem = 1024MB maintenance_work_mem = 1024MB QUERY TUNING effective_cache_size = 2048MB R
