Hi Brian, Congratulations on the getting Arches installed! You'll see the "Loading Resource Data" message until you add at least 1 resource to the application.
Also, thanks for the tip about CASE. That was not a test case that I tried, but you are correct in that Postgres doesn't like upper case names unless they are surrounded in quotes. I'll adjust the documentation or the code to account for that.
