NAME¶
Bio::DB::GFF::Adaptor::dbi::oracle -- Database adaptor for a specific oracle
schema
SYNOPSIS¶
See Bio::DB::GFF
DESCRIPTION¶
This adaptor implements a specific oracle database schema that is compatible
with Bio::DB::GFF. It inherits from Bio::DB::GFF::Adaptor::dbi, which itself
inherits from Bio::DB::GFF.
The schema uses several tables:
- fdata
- This is the feature data table. Its columns are:
fid feature ID (integer)
fref reference sequence name (string)
fstart start position relative to reference (integer)
fstop stop postion relative to reference (integer)
ftypeid feature type ID (integer)
fscore feature score (float); may be null
fstrand strand; one of "+" or "-"; may be null
fphase phase; one of 0, 1 or 2; may be null
gid group ID (integer)
ftarget_start for similarity features, the target start position (integer)
ftarget_stop for similarity features, the target stop position (integer)
Note that it would be desirable to normalize the reference sequence name,
since there are usually many features that share the same reference
feature. However, in the current schema, query performance suffers
dramatically when this additional join is added.
- fgroup
- This is the group table. There is one row for each group. Columns:
gid the group ID (integer)
gclass the class of the group (string)
gname the name of the group (string)
The group table serves multiple purposes. As you might expect, it is used to
cluster features that logically belong together, such as the multiple
exons of the same transcript. It is also used to assign a name and class
to a singleton feature. Finally, the group table is used to identify the
target of a similarity hit. This is consistent with the way in which the
group field is used in the GFF version 2 format.
The fgroup.gid field joins with the fdata.gid field.
Examples:
sql> select * from fgroup where gname='sjj_2L52.1';
+-------+-------------+------------+
| gid | gclass | gname |
+-------+-------------+------------+
| 69736 | PCR_product | sjj_2L52.1 |
+-------+-------------+------------+
1 row in set (0.70 sec)
sql> select fref,fstart,fstop from fdata,fgroup
where gclass='PCR_product' and gname = 'sjj_2L52.1'
and fdata.gid=fgroup.gid;
+---------------+--------+-------+
| fref | fstart | fstop |
+---------------+--------+-------+
| CHROMOSOME_II | 1586 | 2355 |
+---------------+--------+-------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)
- ftype
- This table contains the feature types, one per row. Columns are:
ftypeid the feature type ID (integer)
fmethod the feature type method name (string)
fsource the feature type source name (string)
The ftype.ftypeid field joins with the fdata.ftypeid field. Example:
sql> select fref,fstart,fstop,fmethod,fsource from fdata,fgroup,ftype
where gclass='PCR_product'
and gname = 'sjj_2L52.1'
and fdata.gid=fgroup.gid
and fdata.ftypeid=ftype.ftypeid;
+---------------+--------+-------+-------------+-----------+
| fref | fstart | fstop | fmethod | fsource |
+---------------+--------+-------+-------------+-----------+
| CHROMOSOME_II | 1586 | 2355 | PCR_product | GenePairs |
+---------------+--------+-------+-------------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.08 sec)
- fdna
- This table holds the raw DNA of the reference sequences. It has three
columns:
fref reference sequence name (string)
foffset offset of this sequence
fdna the DNA sequence (longblob)
To overcome problems loading large blobs, DNA is automatically fragmented
into multiple segments when loading, and the position of each segment is
stored in foffset. The fragment size is controlled by the -clump_size
argument during initialization.
- fattribute_to_feature
- This table holds "attributes", which are tag/value pairs stuffed
into the GFF line. The first tag/value pair is treated as the group, and
anything else is treated as an attribute (weird, huh?).
CHR_I assembly_tag Finished 2032 2036 . + . Note "Right: cTel33B"
CHR_I assembly_tag Polymorphism 668 668 . + . Note "A->C in cTel33B"
The columns of this table are:
fid feature ID (integer)
fattribute_id ID of the attribute (integer)
fattribute_value text of the attribute (text)
The fdata.fid column joins with fattribute_to_feature.fid.
- fattribute
- This table holds the normalized names of the attributes. Fields are:
fattribute_id ID of the attribute (integer)
fattribute_name Name of the attribute (varchar)
Data Loading Methods¶
In addition to implementing the abstract SQL-generating methods of
Bio::DB::GFF::Adaptor::dbi, this module also implements the data loading
functionality of Bio::DB::GFF.
new¶
Title : new
Usage : $db = Bio::DB::GFF->new(@args)
Function: create a new adaptor
Returns : a Bio::DB::GFF object
Args : see below
Status : Public
The new constructor is identical to the "dbi" adaptor's
new()
method, except that the prefix "dbi:oracle" is added to the database
DSN identifier automatically if it is not there already.
Argument Description
-------- -----------
-dsn the DBI data source, e.g. 'dbi:mysql:ens0040' or "ens0040"
-user username for authentication
-pass the password for authentication
schema¶
Title : schema
Usage : $schema = $db->schema
Function: return the CREATE script for the schema
Returns : a list of CREATE statemetns
Args : none
Status : protected
This method returns a list containing the various CREATE statements needed to
initialize the database tables.
do_initialize¶
Title : do_initialize
Usage : $success = $db->do_initialize($drop_all)
Function: initialize the database
Returns : a boolean indicating the success of the operation
Args : a boolean indicating whether to delete existing data
Status : protected
This method will load the schema into the database. If $drop_all is true, then
any existing data in the tables known to the schema will be deleted.
Internally, this method calls
schema() to get the schema data.
drop_all¶
Title : drop_all
Usage : $db->drop_all
Function: empty the database
Returns : void
Args : none
Status : protected
This method drops the tables known to this module. Internally it calls the
abstract
tables() method.
setup_load¶
Title : setup_load
Usage : $db->setup_load
Function: called before load_gff_line()
Returns : void
Args : none
Status : protected
This method performs schema-specific initialization prior to loading a set of
GFF records. It prepares a set of DBI statement handlers to be used in loading
the data.
load_gff_line¶
Title : load_gff_line
Usage : $db->load_gff_line($fields)
Function: called to load one parsed line of GFF
Returns : true if successfully inserted
Args : hashref containing GFF fields
Status : protected
This method is called once per line of the GFF and passed a series of parsed
data items that are stored into the hashref $fields. The keys are:
ref reference sequence
source annotation source
method annotation method
start annotation start
stop annotation stop
score annotation score (may be undef)
strand annotation strand (may be undef)
phase annotation phase (may be undef)
group_class class of annotation's group (may be undef)
group_name ID of annotation's group (may be undef)
target_start start of target of a similarity hit
target_stop stop of target of a similarity hit
attributes array reference of attributes, each of which is a [tag=>value] array ref
get_table_id¶
Title : get_table_id
Usage : $integer = $db->get_table_id($table,@ids)
Function: get the ID of a group or type
Returns : an integer ID or undef
Args : none
Status : private
This internal method is called by load_gff_line to look up the integer ID of an
existing feature type or group. The arguments are the name of the table, and
two string identifiers. For feature types, the identifiers are the method and
source. For groups, the identifiers are group name and class.
This method requires that a statement handler named
lookup_$table, have
been created previously by
setup_load(). It is here to overcome
deficiencies in mysql's INSERT syntax.
search_notes¶
Title : search_notes
Usage : @search_results = $db->search_notes("full text search string",$limit)
Function: Search the notes for a text string, using mysql full-text search
Returns : array of results
Args : full text search string, and an optional row limit
Status : public
This is a mysql-specific method. Given a search string, it performs a full-text
search of the notes table and returns an array of results. Each row of the
returned array is a arrayref containing the following fields:
column 1 A Bio::DB::GFF::Featname object, suitable for passing to segment()
column 2 The text of the note
column 3 A relevance score.
column 4 A Bio::DB::GFF::Typename object
Title : make_meta_set_query
Usage : $sql = $db->make_meta_set_query
Function: return SQL fragment for setting a meta parameter
Returns : SQL fragment
Args : none
Status : public
By default this does nothing; meta parameters are not stored or retrieved.
