Database Setup
Registry requires a SQL database, Postgres and MariaDB/MySQL are supported. If there is no local preference, Postgres is recommended. The database configuration should be placed in local/config/database.php. A sample file is available in app/config/database.php.dist.
The database name cannot have a dot (.) in it, see this Github issue for more details.
For MySQL, be sure to set quoteIdentifiers to true. This is not required for MariaDB.

$ cd $REGISTRY/app $ ./bin/cake database [lots of SQL output...] Database schema update successful
