note 80093 added to function.pg-connect

It's not explicitly stated here, but you can also connect to PostgreSQL via a UNIX domain socket by leaving the host empty. This should have less overhead than using TCP e.g.: $dbh = new PDO('pgsql:user=exampleuser dbname=exampledb password=examplepass'); In fact as the C library call PQconnectdb underlies this implementation, you can supply anything that this library call would take - the "pgsql:" prefix gets stripped off before PQconnectdb is called, and if you supply any of the optional arguments (e.g. user), then these arguments will be added to the string that you supplied... Check the docs for your relevant PostgreSQL client library: e.g. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/libpq-connect.html If you really want, you can use ';'s to separate your arguments - these will just be converted to spaces before PQconnectdb is called.
