[udig-devel] postgis link to a unix soket rather than a port?

[Jody Garnett]

Hi Jesse ...

We are exploring a couple of new things for DataStore support - namely 
letting the DataStore use an already existing Java DataSource. I am not 
sure that the JDBC URL syntax supports the direct use of a socket.

Let me look,
- http://www.fankhausers.com/postgresql/jdbc/  Has some background 
information (basically IP is used even if you are working with localhost)

Some entries on the wiki  look related to your question:
- http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-jdbc/2003-09/msg00152.php

The examples were:
- jdbc:postgresql:///tmp:5432/template1
- jdbc:postgresql-unix:///path/to/socket/database
