[Bioperl-l] Errors loading RefSeqs

[Hilmar Lapp]

This is a problem with the Oracle version of biosql. Sorry you had to  
be the first one to be hit by this. The rank as you suspected correctly  
is a NUMBER(2). Do the following in sqlplus (or any other sql-shell  
you're using for Oracle) to relax the restriction.

	SQL> ALTER TABLE sg_bioentry_ref_assoc MODIFY (rank NUMBER(4));

You'll need to issue this command as the schema owner, and be aware  
that it will implicitly commit an open transaction if there is any (b/c  
it is a DDL statement).

Of course, there are lots of GUI-based tools that will let you do the  
same.

I'll fix this in the repository.
