[Bioperl-l] bioperl-db: exporting data

[Hilmar Lapp]

The way you're describing doesn't sound too far off. The rank is an 
ordering index as well as a component of the unique key constraint, 
i.e.,  you can't have two seqfeature qualifier values for the same 
feature and tag name unless the rank is different.

Have you convinced yourself that you con log in to the database and 
retrieve those additions by hand (using SQL)?

Can you reduce this to a test case where you load a single sequence 
record, then issue SQL to add your custom annotation, and then retrieve 
the record again. Email me the entry you loaded, the SQL statements you 
issued, and the entry you got out.
