I've seen Symgene mentioned a few times but google only turns up sort
of aside comments like this -- is there a comprehensive description of
it somewhere? Is it a system that is going to be publicly available,
or a commercial product, or only in-house at gnf? Where does BioSQL
fit in to this?

Maybe that should be the default configuration for the version that is
in BioSQL CVS? i.e. have the different RDBMS schemas as close as
possible. It's hard to see sometimes where the bounds of "BioSQL" lie
-- I had been looking at it as primarily the standard database schema
that the Bio* projects all access, but it looks like it is also
coupled closely with the symgene project.

BTW - thanks for your replies, they have been very enlightening to me
as an Oracle and BioSQL novice.

Cheers,
Len.
