If you need server-wide database registration, it's something you'd need to
set up yourself and it would be platform-specific to the client. For
example, quite a few of the Windows tools save your connection strings to
the Registry and refer to "registering" databases. But a platform-neutral
tool like isql or gbak needs a supplied connection string. In Fb 1.5, that
can be an alias, if you have the configured one in aliases.conf.
