*
* connect =>
* ADOdb set the connect to one of these

*
* host =>
* the host you connect to the database. To add a socket or port number,
use 'port' => #

*
* schema =>
* For Postgres and DB2, specifies which schema you would like to use the
tables in. Postgres defaults to
* 'public', DB2 defaults to empty.
*
* encoding =>
* For MySQL, MySQLi, Postgres and DB2, specifies the character encoding to
use when connecting to the

Subject: Can't locate the database?
To: [email protected]
I got to the following portion of the tutorial:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1538/Data-Validation
At the very end of the tutorial I have the impression that I can proceed to
view at least some fruits of my labor. However, when I went to:
http://localhost/cakery/posts/index
Cakery being where Cake resides, I get the following error... why?
Missing Database Table
*Error: *Database table *posts* for model *Post* was not found.
*Notice: *If you want to customize this error message, create
app\views\errors\missing_table.ctp
