 ```toml
 [db]
-CONNECTION_URI = "postgresql://localhost/honcho_dev"
+CONNECTION_URI = "postgresql+psycopg://localhost/honcho_dev"
 POOL_SIZE = 10
 ```
 
 You can override just the connection URI in production:
 
 ```bash
-export DB_CONNECTION_URI="postgresql://prod-server/honcho_prod"
+export DB_CONNECTION_URI="postgresql+psycopg://prod-server/honcho_prod"
 ```
 
 The application will use the production connection URI while keeping the pool size from config.toml.
