A FASTA file usually contains much less non-sequence information than a
Genbank or Swissprot file. The latter usually
have /taxon_id, /organism, /strain fields etc which I assume can be used
to make the correct links in the BioSQL database.

Depending on what is stored in the ">" lines in your FASTA file, you may
need to write a custom SeqProccesor class, as Hilmar Lapp has mentioned
before in his replies to you:
