We are implementing an university project: a car-pooling service in Java.
We need to solve a problem linked “how to manage a postgres server”:
the PostgreSQL Database is configured in a lab server called “golem” (130.136.4.sth) reachable only through terminals in the same subnet (130.136.4.0).
We have four account (ours) through we can establish a ssh connection to an host.
Is it possible to make SQL queries through SSH towards Postgres DB in JAVA?
Thank you 🙂

If this is just for development, you can use ssh port forwarding to access the database as if it was installed locally. How port forwarding is enabled depends on the client software you use, openssh for example has a command line switch for it (-L):
This command would make the
remoteportonremotehost, though accessible only throughhost, available onlocalporton your computer.
