Hi Hilmar,

I installed bioperl from cvs and repopulated the swissprot db into 
BioSQL. The entries I checked so far are apparantly correct. With the 
particular example I found that it was obviously a bug in the sequence 
annotation parsing of the 1.2.1 version. Sorry for having bothered you 
with versioning, I simply trusted the biosql installation instructions 
that claimed a patched 1.2.1 would do.
What still puzzles me is the size of the database: starting with a 543MB 
flatfile, the first run (with the faulty parser) gave me 600MB database 
and 9100 GO annotations. After the rerun with load_seqdatabase (...) 
--lookup --remove  I get 1.1GB database but only 5100 GO annotations in 
the dbxref table. Is this due to the normalization?
Is there a full list of parseable databases (GenBank, EMBL, ENSEMBL?, 
PDB? etc) and the resp. place to download?
Thanks again.

Cheers,
Andreas
