Configuring the database

Database Address

The database address and port. Use format host:port.
MySQL and MariaDB default port to 3306 address=localhost

Always read and write to the database

⚠️ This option may have performance impacts depending on the hosted machine.
Enable this setting to force GD to always read and write from database.
Enable this setting if you need to share database data across multiple servers.
This will disable GD's built-in claim data cache so performance will depend on database.
always-read-write-db=false
