Hi, Scott,
I tried to change sequence-region line to "4 FlyBase chromosome_arm 1
1351857 . . . ID=4;Name=4", it doesn't work. "$!" didn't say anything but
"died at line 12".
So, I went ahead with the Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store. Here is my code to
load the dmel-all-r5.4.gff(from Flybase) to a test database:
=============================================================
use Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store;
use Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store::GFF3Loader;
my $db = Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store->new(-adaptor => 'DBI::mysql',
-dsn => 'dbi:mysql:test',
-user => 'root',
-pass => 'XXXXX',
-write => 1 );
my $loader = Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store::GFF3Loader->new(-store => $db,
-verbose => 1);
$loader->load(./'dmel-all-r5.4.gff');
=============================================================
I got bunch of errors like this:
"DBD::mysql::execute failed: Table 'test.locationlist' doesn't exist at
C:\Biology\perl\site\lib\Bio\DB\SeqFeature\Store\DBI\mysql.pm line 1316".
The line 1316 in mysql.pm looks like this: $sth->execute($name) or die
$sth->errstr;
I checked the database test after failed loading. There is only one table
created, which call 'meta'. I also tried 'grant all on test to
XXX at localhost' and used that -user and -pass to load gff, it didn't work
either.
