[Biojava-l] nested features

[Martina]

Thanks for your interest, Richard,

I should have made this clearer: yes, I'm expecting the second output:

retrieving AF100928
AF100928 contains 1 features
Source: ncbi Type: gen contains: 2
Second Level: Source: AIF Type: siRNA contains: 1 Second Level: 
Source: AIF 5`450 / AIF 3`682 Type: Amplicon contains: 0

I am trying to upgrade to MySQL 4.1.12 (was 4.1 alpha before (maybe it 
was a problem there)) and it is not working right now, but I will post 
the results of the sql statements as soon as the db is up again.

Just find out the bioentry_id of the inserted sequence (look it up in the 'bioentry' table using the 'name' column to look for your sequence name), then record all the rows from seqfeature with bioentry_id being that value, and all rows from seqfeature_relationship where either subject_seqfeature_id or object_seqfeature_id matches any of the seqfeature_id values you just got from the seqfeature table.

This probably won't fix it, but it's worth a try.
