For any database region mapped by the global directory to a server, but for which the server resides on the same machine, YottaDB database logic short-circuits uses in-memory access logic instead of going through the network stack. However, there are situations when it is desirable to force a connection through the network stack, even when client and server are on the same machine, for example if the client and database are for different releases of YottaDB or when the client has signal handling logic that cannot be made compatible with that of YottaDB.
