I don't think you should be using the '-create' option here. You need
to use it when loading data for the first time, but not when
subsequently connecting to the database to read the data (I believe).
If I'm right, this second use of -create is deleting all the data that
you loaded when calling bp_seqfeature_load.pl (where you correctly
used -c to create a 'fresh' database). This would explain why you get
no output from the types method.
