dbserverexamplecomPORT

dbserverexamplecomPORT is a placeholder value often used in technical documentation and example configurations for database server connection strings. It does not represent a real or specific port number but rather serves as a generic identifier for the port on which a database server is expected to be running. When encountering this value, users should replace it with the actual port number assigned to their database instance, such as 3306 for MySQL, 5432 for PostgreSQL, or 1433 for Microsoft SQL Server.

The purpose of using such an example is to illustrate the structure of a connection string without exposing sensitive or specific deployment details. A typical database connection string might look like `dbserverexamplecomPORT:database_name` or `server=dbserverexamplecomPORT;database=my_db`. In these examples, the user is expected to substitute `dbserverexamplecomPORT` with the correct hostname or IP address of their database server and the actual port number.

Understanding that `dbserverexamplecomPORT` is an example is crucial for successful database connectivity. Failure to replace it with the correct port number will result in connection errors, as the system will attempt to connect to a non-existent or incorrectly configured port. This placeholder is a common convention in various programming languages and database client libraries to simplify the process of providing connection parameters in a clear and understandable format.
