[Bioperl-l] Bio::DB::BioDB - insert failed. Dupllicate entry ''for key 2?

Hi Jay,
Yes, I agree with Chris. I also think you'd be better off with
load_seqdatabase.pl.

BTW, here you actually did not delete your sequence but the namespace.
If you want to check 'sequences' you should look into the bioentry
table.

Using load_seqdatabase.pl the namespace is set automatically to the
default ('bioperl') but you can set it as well with the --namespace
option.

HTH,
