Re: db connection - mysql

If host is localhost there is no real choice. Sockets will be used.

The quote from 'info mysql' is had in mind in the earlier post:

   * The value of `host' may be either a hostname or an IP address.  If
     `host' is `NULL' or the string `"localhost"', a connection to the
     local host is assumed. If the OS supports sockets (Unix) or named
     pipes (Windows), they are used instead of TCP/IP to connect to the
     server.


Sockets are faster.
