config/database – Kohana API 2.3 Documentation

system/config/database.php

default

Database connection settings, defined as arrays, or "groups". If no group name is used when loading the database library, the group named "default" will be used.

Each group can be connected to independently, and multiple groups can be connected at once.

Group Options:

benchmark
Enable or disable database benchmarking
persistent
Enable or disable a persistent connection
connection
Array of connection specific parameters; alternatively,
you can use a DSN though it is not as fast and certain characters could create problems (like an '@' character in a password): 'connection' => 'mysql://dbuser:secret@localhost/kohana'

character_set
Database character set
table_prefix
Database table prefix
object
Enable or disable object results
cache
Enable or disable query caching
escape
Enable automatic query builder escaping
