[Bioperl-l] Storing Blast object in a local database

[Brian Osborne]

Tim,

One way is to "stringify" the object like so:

use Data::Dumper;
$str = Dumper($blast_object);

Then store the string in your database. To re-create the Blast object
retrieve the string, then something like:

$blast_object = eval "$str";

Hi all,

Is it possible to store a blast object
(Bio::Search::Result::BlastResult) in a mysql database?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Regards,

Tim
