[Bioperl-l] Biosql documentation request

[Brian Osborne]

Hilmar,

I went ahead and installed postgres as well as the biosql schema when I
found out that Cygwin would install postgres. Kudos to you: the installation
of postgres, postgres initialization, and biosql database creation took
about 10 minutes and I've never used postgres before. I was basically
following the INSTALL instructions. The new biosql.html has been commited.

It pretty much is the latest. Amazing, isn't it? The schema is *very*
stable.

There are a few additions in the Oracle version which aren't really
officially blessed yet (meaning, they're not in the MySQL/Pg versions
but will be soon), and none of which breaks backwards compatibility.

I'll try and see whether I can get postgres_autodoc installed over the
weekend.

Or maybe somebody on the biosql list has this setup already?
