This is what I did to create a Database instance and access it Step 1 : I created my DB instance in digital ocean then I made my IP address as trusted source , got the credentials (host name , db name , user , password) to access it . Step 2 : downloaded postgreSQL to my local PC , opened the psql terminal window , and typed the credentials . Now I get an error .
psql: error: SSL SYSCALL error: Connection reset by peer (0x00002746/10054)
FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "123.231.108.177", user "bconic_survey_admin", database "bconic_survey", SSL off

Hello, @tharikr
I will recommend you to double check our existing tutorial on how to connect to PostgreSQL databases here:
How to Connect to PostgreSQL Database Clusters
As for the error message itself, I think the crucial problem is the “SSL off” part.
The only required parameter is sslmode. If you notice, the connection string that DigitalOcean provides has “sslmode=require”
You can make sure that ssl is set to yes and give it another try.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
