Describe the problem

When running uvicorn main:app --reload to load up the sql-registry on MacOS, fastapi errors out with MacOS Symbol not found. This is a known bug on MacOS when running fastapi, this issue. We can try fixing this by adding the necessary import in database.py but we would have to test this out on Linux and Windows as well.
