[ensembl-dev] Core/variation connection info?

[Kieron Taylor]

Hi Ken,

Internally, we maintain a database that would provide this 
functionality, but we have not produced a public API yet. At some stage 
we hope to provide this, but it is not an immediate concern.

We maintain our database naming pattern meticulously, so you can rely on 
your substitution pattern working. Presumably you have encountered a 
problem with this approach?

More commonly one would point the Registry at the servers, and it would 
take care of your name discovery for you - see get_all_DBAdaptors, 
get_all_DBAdaptors_by_connection, and of course 
load_registry_from_multiple_dbs.

Feel free to elaborate on your difficulty if none of the above are of 
any help.
