Does postgres have an equivalent C level (or ODBC) parameter so you can
use IPC for local to db server only code?

There is a measurable reduction in elapsed time for my code when I
specify IPC. My code uses:
node.js
https://npmjs.org/package/odbc
db2

Thanks!!

In general, in postgres you leave the the hostname blank to specify
local IPC.
