[Bioperl-l] EST mirroring

[Juha Muilu]

Hi All,

Couple of years back I wrote perl/DBI scripts for mirroring dbEST from
the NCBI's sybase database to Oracle. Now the public access to the
database is closed and I am alone with my good but bit messy scripts
:-(

The data is distributed nowadays in a daily bcp-dumps. I do not like
to give up easily and I'm planning to blow dust on the camel book and
hack some perl code again.


The EST database is fairly simple and code can be made general enough
for other purposes as well. I am not planning to do any complex schema
mappings, only one-to-one conversion between the tables. Columns can
have different names and data types and be in different order etc.
basics.

Before I start I like to know are people intrested in this or perhaps
already done it?
