Postgres have a  different feature which lets you to create a foreign data wrapper inside Postgres, which lets you feel the object of current connected database. It will help to create object that will part of foreign data or database. So we can easily integrated data. This feature is called foreign data wrapper.

What are the components of foreign data wrapper ?

1. Foreign Data wrapper Extension { file_fdw , postgres_fdw }
2. Foreign database server location
3. User Mapping local and remote.
4. Schema Creation and Import.

How to create and deploy on production environment ?

1. First of all Create or enable data wrapper extension using below command.

CREATE EXTENSION postgres_fdw;

2. Now configure foreign server which is target location.

CREATE SERVER foreign_server
        FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw
        OPTIONS (host 'localhost', port '5432', dbname 'ttt');

3. Now create and map local user with foregin server
       
        CREATE USER MAPPING FOR postgres
        SERVER foreign_server
        OPTIONS (user 'postgres', password 'hrhk');
       
        CREATE USER MAPPING FOR postgres
        SERVER foreign_server
        OPTIONS (user 'postgres', password 'hrhk@123');
       
4. After that create new schema that will assigned all foreign objects. Then import object into this schema.

CREATE SCHEMA app;

IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA public
 FROM SERVER foreign_server
  INTO app;

How to encrypt and decrypt Table data in postgres

For encrypting and decrypting , we must use the bytea data type on the column which we implement. Bcoz bytea will use the pgcrypto method by default. However, you will need to create the pgcrypto extension to enable these functions as they are not pre-defined in PostgreSQL/PPAS. Example CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; CREATE TABLE userinfo (username varchar(20), password bytea); >>    Inserting the data in an encrypted format INSERT INTO userinfo VALUES(' suman ',encrypt('111222','password','aes')); select * from userinfo ; >>    Retrieving the data as decrypted format SELECT decrypt(password,decode('password','escape'::text),'aes'::text) FROM userinfo; Thanks for reading Plz dont forget to like Facebook Page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sql-DBAcoin/523110684456757

Validation of the schema model for data package failed. Error SQL71562: Error validating element xx.xxx.xx:function .dbo.xxx has an unresolved refrence to object xx.dbo.xxxx external refrences are not supported when creating a package from this platform . Reason: The reason of the this error was; some functions of project was dependent on master database and only single database was being deploy to SQL Azure. DACFx must block Export when object definitions (views, procedures, etc.) contain external references, as Azure SQL Database does not allow cross-database external references So, this error was coming. Solution : I suggested him to create those function to locally
