MySQL will connect via a Unix socket to the specified socket. For example::
|
431 | 431 | If you're using MySQL and this value *doesn't* start with a forward slash, then |
432 | 432 | this value is assumed to be the host. |
433 | 433 | |
434 | | If you're using PostgreSQL, an empty string means to use a Unix domain socket |
435 | | for the connection, rather than a network connection to localhost. If you |
436 | | explicitly need to use a TCP/IP connection on the local machine with |
437 | | PostgreSQL, specify ``localhost`` here. |
| 434 | If you're using PostgreSQL, by default (empty :setting:`HOST`), the connection |
| 435 | to the database is done through UNIX domain sockets ('local' lines in |
| 436 | ``pg_hba.conf``). If you want to connect through TCP sockets, set |
| 437 | :setting:`HOST` to 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' ('host' lines in ``pg_hba.conf``). |
| 438 | On Windows, you should always define :setting:`HOST`, as UNIX domain sockets |
| 439 | are not available. |
