§Configuring the JDBC pool.
The Play JDBC datasource is managed by HikariCP.
§Special URLs
Play supports special url format for both MySQL and PostgreSQL:
# To configure MySQL
db.default.url="mysql://user:password@localhost/database"
# To configure PostgreSQL
db.default.url="postgres://user:password@localhost/database"
A non-standard port of the database service can be specified:
# To configure MySQL running in Docker
db.default.url="mysql://user:password@localhost:port/database"
# To configure PostgreSQL running in Docker
db.default.url="postgres://user:password@localhost:port/database"
§Reference
In addition to the classical driver, url, username, password configuration properties, it also supports additional tuning parameters if you need them. The play.db.prototype configuration from the Play JDBC reference.conf is used as the prototype for the configuration for all database connections. The defaults for all the available configuration options can be seen here:
