[Bioperl-l] removing sequences from a database?

[Hilmar Lapp]

This is a pretty old posting :-) Sure you can remove sequences. In
fact you can remove any persistent object by calling $pobj->remove().
I.e., for a persistent sequence (which is what you get from the
adaptors): $pseq->remove()

Do not forget to call commit() on the persistence adaptor or the
persistent object itself or otherwise the operation is rolled back
when you disconnect.

BTW there are examples for objects other than the sequence object
itself (say you want to remove only the features) in the
scripts/biosql directory; some of the --mergeobjs closure examples do
this.
