FEEDBACK
Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
bioperl-l@bioperl.org
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.
Reporting Bugs
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
new
Title : new
Usage : my $obj = Bio::DB::SimpleDBContext->new();
Function: Builds a new Bio::DB::SimpleDBContext object
Returns : an instance of Bio::DB::SimpleDBContext
Args : Named parameters. Currently recognized are
-dbname the name of the schema
-host the database host (to which to connect)
-port the port on the host to which to connect (optional)
-driver the DBI driver name for the RDBMS (e.g., mysql,
oracle, or Pg)
-user the username for connecting
-pass the password for the user
-dsn the DSN string to use verbatim for connecting;
if supplied, other parameters will not change
or add to the value (see method dsn())
-schema the schema under which the database tables
reside, if the driver needs this (for example,
for PostgreSQL)
dsn
Title : dsn
Usage : $obj->dsn($newval)
Function: Get/set the DSN for the database connection.
The DSN typically contains all non-credential information
necessary to connect to the database, like driver, database
or instance name, host, etc. Therefore, setting the DSN
overrides any other individual properties set before. We
make an attempt to parse those properties out of the DSN
string, but, in accordance with the interface contract,
advise any client to use the dsn verbatim for connecting if
set and not try to rebuild it from the parsed out
properties.
I.e., if you set this property, setting any other
individual properties will not alter the DSN used for
connecting to the database. If you query the property, a
value will not be automatically constructed if only
individual properties have been set.
Example :
Returns : value of dsn (a scalar)
Args : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)
dbname
Title : dbname
Usage : $obj->dbname($newval)
Function:
Example :
Returns : value of dbname (a scalar)
Args : new value (a scalar, optional)
driver
Title : driver
Usage : $obj->driver($newval)
Function:
Example :
Returns : value of driver (a scalar)
Args : new value (a scalar, optional)
username
Title : username
Usage : $obj->username($newval)
Function:
Example :
Returns : value of username (a scalar)
Args : new value (a scalar, optional)
password
Title : password
Usage : $obj->password($newval)
Function:
Example :
Returns : value of password (a scalar)
Args : new value (a scalar, optional)
host
Title : host
Usage : $obj->host($newval)
Function:
Example :
Returns : value of host (a scalar)
Args : new value (a scalar, optional)
port
Title : port
Usage : $obj->port($newval)
Function:
Example :
Returns : value of port (a scalar)
Args : new value (a scalar, optional)
dbadaptor
Title : get_adaptor
Usage : $dbadp = $dbc->dbadaptor();
Function:
Example :
Returns : An Bio::DB::DBAdaptorI implementing object (an object adaptor
factory).
Args : Optionally, on set an Bio::DB::DBAdaptorI implementing object (to
be used as the object adaptor factory for the respective database)
dbi
Title : dbi
Usage :
Function:
Example :
Returns : A Bio::DB::DBI implementing object
Args : Optionally, on set a Bio::DB::DBI implementing object
schema
Title : schema
Usage : $dbc->schema($newval)
Function: Get/set the schema in which the database tables reside.
Example :
Returns : value of schema (a scalar)
Args : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)
