> JDBC drivers can not use a socket connection

As someone that has done lots of Java development you have lost me there, as JDBC drivers obviously do make use of network connections, usually TCP/IP sockets.

[miragium]

they are probably referring to unix sockets. I used dbeaver already and got stuck on this very problem.

Ah ok, I seldom see them being used though.

TCP-only is not as big a deal as it used to be. If network stack overhead dominates your db connection you have probably done something wrong.

Sorry, I meant Unix socket. They are the best setup for postgres connections on a dev machine imo.
