[BioSQL-l] Increasing value of rank in table seqfeature

[Gabrielle Doan]

Hi all,
I have a BioSQL database which contains several chromosomes and 
features. And now I would like to insert chromosome 2 with some miRNA as 
a new feature. I meet the problem that in the table seqfeature the entry 
rank just can store smallint(5) unsigned values. As fare as I know each 
rank has to be unique. If you want to store many information this value 
will be excess quickly. Isn't it better to increase this value?

It would be very nice if someone could comment my suggestion. Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Gabrielle
