.. [1] With PostgreSQL, you can also use unix domain socket paths with
|
|
`percent encoding <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/libpq-connect.html#AEN38162>`_:
|
|
``postgres://%2Fvar%2Flib%2Fpostgresql/dbname``.
|
|
.. [2] SQLite connects to file based databases. The same URL format is used, omitting
|
|
the hostname, and using the "file" portion as the filename of the database.
|
|
This has the effect of four slashes being present for an absolute file path:
|
|
``sqlite:////full/path/to/your/database/file.sqlite``.
