I have 1 physical machine with 2 VMs (VMWare esxi) - one for database (PostgreSQL 9.2.1), and one for application. I'd like my application to connect to my database in an efficient way, and I've heard that using a file system socket is more efficient than a network socket (TCP overhead, IIRC).
- Is there a way to use a file system socket with the aforementioned setup? Or...
- Is there another, efficient connection method you'd recommend?
