PostgreSQL connection settings

------------------------------

-------------------------------



By default (empty :setting:`HOST`), the connection to the database is done

through UNIX domain sockets ('local' lines in pg_hba.conf). If you want to

connect through TCP sockets, set :setting:`HOST` to 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'

('host' lines in pg_hba.conf). On Windows, you should always define

:setting:`HOST`, as UNIX domain sockets are not available.

See :setting:`HOST` for details.

explicitly need to use a TCP/IP connection on the local machine with

PostgreSQL, specify ``localhost`` here.
