[ensembl-dev] Question about registry data

[Marc P. Hoeppner]

Hi,

I have been using a local install of some of the EnsEMBL databases for a 
while now, but am always required to load multiple dbs (including 
ensembldb.ensembl.org) - otherwise the registry object will lack 
information on e.g. aliases of species names. My question therefore is 
where that information is physically stored and what I would have to do 
on my end (the local install) to get all that meta data without also 
connecting to the official mysql mirror? Is that information perhaps 
stored in a SQL table/database?

Kind regards,

Marc
