+ * Database configuration class.
+ * You can specify multiple configurations for production, development and testing.
+ *
+ * datasource => The name of a supported datasource; valid options are as follows:
+ *		Database/Mysql 		- MySQL 4 & 5,
+ *		Database/Sqlite		- SQLite (PHP5 only),
+ *		Database/Postgres	- PostgreSQL 7 and higher,
+ *		Database/Sqlserver	- Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and higher
+ *
+ * You can add custom database datasources (or override existing datasources) by adding the
+ * appropriate file to app/Model/Datasource/Database. Datasources should be named 'MyDatasource.php',
+ *
+ *
+ * persistent => true / false
+ * Determines whether or not the database should use a persistent connection
+ *
+ * host =>
+ * the host you connect to the database. To add a socket or port number, use 'port' => #
+ *
+ * prefix =>
+ * Uses the given prefix for all the tables in this database. This setting can be overridden
+ * on a per-table basis with the Model::$tablePrefix property.
+ *
+ * schema =>
+ * For Postgres/Sqlserver specifies which schema you would like to use the tables in. Postgres defaults to 'public'. For Sqlserver, it defaults to empty and use
+ * the connected user's default schema (typically 'dbo').
+ *
+ * encoding =>
+ * For MySQL, Postgres specifies the character encoding to use when connecting to the
+ * database. Uses database default not specified.
+ *
+ * unix_socket =>
+ * For MySQL to connect via socket specify the `unix_socket` parameter instead of `host` and `port`
