cd database-manager
composer install # install dependencies
./bin/database-manager # list command-line options

```

Database configuration files
----------------------------

[](#database-configuration-files)

Database connection information is stored in a simple .ini file. Here's a working example:

```
name = mydb
server = localhost
port = 3306
username = my_username
password = my_password

```

Note that `port` key is optional.

Store your database in `/share/config/database/[databasename].conf`

Command-line options
--------------------

[](#command-line-options)

`bin/database-manager connection:config [dbname]`

This will load the configuration from `/share/config/database/[databasename].conf`, and display it on the console.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Please refer to the `examples/` directory for:
