[ensembl-dev] Local MySQL install...

[Remo Sanges]

Dear Steve,

in order to use all the functionalities of the compara API you need access to an ensembl_compara_XX database as well as to all the core databases of the species you are working on.

Maybe a bit OT but it would be great if you could share your script....

Cheers

ERemo

I am doing lots of parallel runs retrieving data and thought it would be both more time effective for me, as well as limiting the number of connections made to your MySQL servers.
