[BioSQL-l] bioentry-version vs sequence-version

[Hilmar Lapp]

  From the schema-overview.txt:

Sequences may have their own version number, independent of its
bioentry version information.

This pretty much states it. Usually they will have the same version, 
but some data providers may choose to increment the version of the 
sequence whenever the sequence changes, and the version of the entry 
whenever the sequence or the annotation change.
