Hi
I don't fully understand how the perl api is related to different
releases of the ensembl database.
Is it correct that if I want to use, for example, release 59 of the
database then I need to use release 59 of the perl API?
If so, how can I find past versions of the api. I looked on the ftp site
and could only find the database releases and not the api releases. I
need to use release 58 of the database but I currently have release 59
of the perl API and a local copy of the version 59 database.
If i was using version 59 of the perl api to make remote database calls,
would the api automatically query version 59 of the database?
What would happen if i was using version 59 of the perl api against a
local database installation of say version 57?
Is there a Java version of the Perl API? Does it have equivalent
functionality?
Thanks for your help
