<p>CodeIgniter has a config file that lets you store your database
connection values (username, password, database name, etc.). The config
file is located at application/config/database.php. You can also set
database connection values for specific
<a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/config.html"><span class="doc">environments</span></a> by placing <strong>database.php</strong>
in the respective environment config folder.</p>
<p>The config settings are stored in a multi-dimensional array with this
prototype:</p>

<p>Some database drivers (such as PDO, PostgreSQL, Oracle, ODBC) might
require a full DSN string to be provided. If that is the case, you
should use the dsn configuration setting, as if youre using the
drivers underlying native PHP extension, like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1">// PDO</span>
<span class="nv">$db</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;default&#39;</span><span class="p">][</span><span class="s1">&#39;dsn&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;pgsql:host=localhost;port=5432;dbname=database_name&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="c1">// Oracle</span>
<span class="nv">$db</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;default&#39;</span><span class="p">][</span><span class="s1">&#39;dsn&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;//localhost/XE&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">If you do not specify a DSN string for a driver that requires it, CodeIgniter
will try to build it with the rest of the provided settings.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">If you provide a DSN string and it is missing some valid settings (e.g. the
database character set), which are present in the rest of the configuration
fields, CodeIgniter will append them.</p>
</div>
<p>You can also specify failovers for the situation when the main connection cannot connect for some reason.
These failovers can be specified by setting the failover for a connection like this:</p>

<p>You can specify as many failovers as you like.</p>
<p>The reason we use a multi-dimensional array rather than a more simple
one is to permit you to optionally store multiple sets of connection
values. If, for example, you run multiple environments (development,
production, test, etc.) under a single installation, you can set up a
connection group for each, then switch between groups as needed. For
example, to set up a “test” environment you would do this:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$db</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;test&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span>
