[MOBY-dev] Re: is findService(0 case sensitive?

[mark wilkinson]

MOBY is intended to be case sensitive.  What you are seeing is likely a consequence of mySQL not being case sensitive, and moby central not double-checking the output of the query.

That's a frustrating bug, since it means I need to post-filter every query :-/

I wonder if there is a flag in mysql that makes the searches case sensitive?

I'll look into it when I get back to Vancouver.  For the moment, code on the assumption that it *is* case sensitive, since that's the intention.

Subject: is findService(0 case sensitive?

Mark,
   You told me once that everything in Biomoby is case sensitive (that was
in time when I played with idea to allow case insensitivness but then
stepped back because of Blast's secondary parameters 'e' and 'E').
   Now I see that findService seems to be case insensitive. When I ask for
service getProteinSequence I get two services: getProteinSequence and
GetProteinSequence.
   So what is true? Whatever it is could you tell us and add it to the API
please?

   Cheers,
   Martin

PS. Pending answer about retrieving namespaces... :-)
