Well I did get no PubMed-Id - either spelling or case.

By now I found out what was the problem with the PubMed-Ids. Every time
I only had a PubMed-ID given in a SwissProt file this ID was not taken
and parsed into the database. I thought it is a problem with BioSQL, but
it was a problem with BioPERL, where the swissprot parser has a problem.
I reported the bug and it should be fixed in a forthcoming release.

Therefore no problem with BioSQL, but BioPerl and sorry that I have
bothered the list.
