ModBioSQL release 0.12

[Tamas Hegedus]

Dear All,
Dear Peter,

during my work I had to use RDBMS and EMBOSS.

I collected my scripts and experiments into a package called Modular 
BioSQL, which has different features:
-- Modular RDB realization of different biological databases allows 
   fine-tuning with increased performance. 
-- Storing result sets in RDBMS allows more accurate, more comfortable 
   analysis using SQL. 

-- User interaction with the RDBMS (installation, loading up and querying 
   data) does not need programming skills. 
-- Light weight RDB interaction with analysis packages (only EMBOSS is 
   implemented). 
-- Optimalized loading of flat files into the RDBMS. 
-- Using 'fixed value arrays' (*_ref tables) results in both smaller data 
   size (smaller than the flat file) and smaller index 
   size increasing the performance (theoretically both the uploading and 
   querying performance). 
-- Relatively easily extendable to implement and handle databases other 
   than the currently realized.

You may think I suggest Modular BioSQL as a replacement of BioSQL. I do 
not think so! For details, please visit my web site, and send 
comments and suggestions:
