[Bioperl-l] bioperl-db - Problems when trying to insert GenBank sequence into Pg BioSQL db

[Hilmar Lapp]

This all sounds like you aren't issuing commit. Are you sure your code  
contains $popj->commit() and what you are looking at is *after* that  
is executed?

Bioperl-db is transactional, so you decide when to commit (or rollback).
