MySQL network or named pipe?

[Svish]

Leste om MySQL ODBC connectoren på http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/myodbc-connector.html. Og der stod det i introduksjonen:

 

Typically, you need to install Connector/ODBC only on Windows machines. For Unix and Mac OS X you can use the native MySQL network or named pipe to communicate with your MySQL database. You may need Connector/ODBC for Unix or Mac OS X if you have an application that requires an ODBC interface to communicate with the database. Applications that require ODBC to communicate with MySQL include ColdFusion, Microsoft Office, and Filemaker Pro.

 

Hva er dette native MySQL network or named pipe? Aldri hört om det för...

MySQL connectoren som er skreve i C blir brukt i c/c++, perl, php osv(Native mysql network), mens Java har eigen JDBC MySQL connector(named pipe).
