PostgreSQL Connection Error

Hey guys, this may be a simple question but I can't figure it out for the life of me. I just created a PostgreSQL instance successfully and created a database, no problem. I'm now trying to create a table in the database but, whenever I try to connect to the server (both console and cloud command-line) I get this error message "It seems your client does not have IPv6 connectivity and the database instance does not have an IPv4 address. Please request an IPv4 address for this database instance" I don't know what to do. If this helps at all, the instance network is connected through a shared VPC on a different host project. Thank you!

Hi @MrBanks518,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Based on this documentation on connecting from Cloud Shell:

Cloud Shell doesn't currently support connecting to a Cloud SQL instance that has only a private IP address.

Either you need to enable public IP to access Cloud SQL instance using Cloud Shell or your instance should be configured with a private IP.

You may want to check the following documentation on Cloud SQL with private IP:
