the address 127.0.0.1 is a "special" address meaning the local machine
(aka "localhost").
the above line will only work if the database and the scripts are on the
exact same machine.
if the database and the scripts are on different machines, then the scripts
need to open the database by specifying the name or address of the database
machine, and the database machine must have a pg_hba.conf entry listing the
address of the machine running the scripts.
