[Bioperl-l] Loading taxonomy data into BioSQL

[Brian Osborne]

SG,

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script loads or updates a biosql schema with the NCBI Taxon
Database. There are a number of options to do with where the biosql
database is (i.e., database name, hostname, user for database,
password, database name).

This script may download the NCBI Taxon Database from the NCBI FTP
server on-the-fly (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/). Otherwise it
expects the files to be downloaded already.

Hi,

Can you please help me with an error message? I have just installed a BioSQL
database and am trying to run the load_ncbi_taxonomy.pl script to get
taxonomy
data into my database before I start to load sequences in. The database has
been created and is empty, however, I get the following error message:


Cannot open Local file taxdata/taxdump.tar.gz: No such file or directory at
load_ncbi_taxonom.pl line 628
