example for connecting mysql by using “pymysql” driver，

records.DATABASE_URL = "mysql+pymysql://user:password@host:port/db"
db = records.Database(echo=True)

i think record is based on SQLAlchemy , you can refer to the official document of SQLAlchemy and make expand

connect string like this :

 postgresql+pypostgresql://user:password@host:port/dbname[?key=value&key=value...]

you can get this refer by sqlAlchemy

That's for a TCP/IP connection. Got somewhere showing a Unix socket connection string? Haven't found it in the docs so far.

It's in the docs right here.

If you are using psycopg2 you can omit the host in your connection string. With that sqlalchemy will pass None as the host argument to psycopg2 which will connect to the postgres server via UNIX socket.
