Re: localhost vs domain for connection string
IIRC, localhost is seen by the client as a magic word to mean use the UNIX socket, not 127.0.0.1. So, yes, that would make the connection not show up in netstat :-) On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 11:11 AM, Brent Clark brentgclarkl...@gmail.comwrote: Hiya Is there a difference if someone had to make the connection string the a domain (hosts file entry makes the machine look at its ip) as opposed to just using localhost.

Re: localhost vs domain for connection string
From: Brent Clark brentgclarkl...@gmail.com Is there a difference if someone had to make the connection string the a domain (hosts file entry makes the machine look at its ip) as opposed to just using localhost. If so would a performance hit be incurred? Using 'localhost' will always be faster, although perhaps imperceptibly so. I look into the future because that’s where I am going to spend the rest of my life. -- George Burns Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
