# PostgreSQL Database Configuration
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/database_name

# Example configurations:
# Local PostgreSQL: postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/mydb
# Docker PostgreSQL: postgresql://postgres:your_password@postgres:5432/mydb
# Remote PostgreSQL: postgresql://user:pass@remote-host:5432/db

# For passwords with special characters, ensure proper URL encoding:
# Example: If password is "Mukul@975", use: postgresql://postgres:Mukul%40975@localhost:5432/postgres
# @ symbol should be encoded as %40 in URLs

# Security Settings
# For production, always use environment variables or secure secret management
# Never commit actual credentials to version control
