[Bioperl-l] bioperl-db and postgres8.3 - status query

[Hilmar Lapp]

Yes, unfortunately they do. The feature for obviating them (namely  
nested transactions) is there in Pg 8.2+, but Bioperl-db doesn't use  
them yet ... I have to learn more about Class::DBIx first to decide  
whether it's better to first implement nested transactions in the home- 
grown ORM that Bioperl-db in essence is, or whether it's better to  
reimplement everything in Class::DBIx instead.

There are new datatypes in Bioperl, and relations in BioSQL that could  
hold them, and so I need to decide what's the way forward.
