Source of Entry in Postgres
I want to make a small web app using Postgres as database.
Is there a way to accept database access if and only if the SQL command is coming from my app, blocking any other access to the database?

What exactly do you mean with "app"? If this is on a mobile device, you have no choice but to use something like SQLite. On a desktop, is the Postgres server to be installed on the same PC, or elsewhere? What should happen if there is some other app that also wants to install a Postgres server?

Start by identifying the methods by which your database will determine if the SQL statement is coming from your app. - mustaccio
You can use a combination of firewall and pg_hba.conf rules to limit incoming connections. - dezso
Are all connections made to the database via a web server? If so, you can take advantage of whitelisting the app server, if connections are made directly from the clients, maybe creating a whitelist wrapper would do the trick instead? - John Eisbrener
