[Biojava-l] Re: [BioSQL-l] _removeSequence

[Martina]

That means, that I can't have 2 features refering to the same bioentry 
with the same type (= type_term_id)and source (=source_term_id) but 
different parent features because of the composite key bioentry_id in 
the seqfeature table? Or what does "rank" in that table mean (its part 
of that key), how can I get different ranks?
