database connection. KiCad does not recommend or endorse any particular ODBC driver or database server, but has been tested to work with Sqlite, MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL. NOTE Windows users: database server allows TCP/IP connections, then add the required Port parameter to your connection string. For example, add Port=3306; for the default TCP port of MySQL/MariaDB, or Server=localhost;Port=5432; Server=localhost;Port=5432; to force PostgreSQL to use a TCP connection to the local server. Using the default UNIX domain socket connections for MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL is only possible when overriding host file

Finally, Nginx can be used as a cache to the github server to speed up the loading of footprints. It can be installed locally or on a network server. There is an example configuration in KiCad sources is to overwrite the default nginx.conf with this one and export KIGITHUB=http://my_server:54321/KiCad, where my_server is the IP or domain name of the machine running nginx. 2.4.7.

Using the default UNIX domain socket connections for MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL is only possible when overriding host file when opening the Symbol Chooser Dialog. Subsequently, any alterations made to the categories on the server side will remain undetected by KiCad until the user performs a program restart. This implementation
