[ensembl-dev] DB access for EnsemblMetazoa

[Keiran Raine]

Hi,

I'm looking for some assistance reading data from the ensembl mysql instance for EnsemblMetazoa.

I have a very simple API script based on examples from the official documentation (attached), it works fine for listing the available DB adaptors via "get_all_DBAdaptors" if I point it at the vertebrate instance, but for the non-vertebrate genomes I get an empty list (registry as described here<https://metazoa.ensembl.org/info/docs/api/general_instructions.html#connectin>).

If nothing else, I'm just looking for someone to confirm they see the same behaviour as me when using the documented connection details.

P.s. the general ensembl instance is very slow, it was usable earlier today, not so much now.  I also did a host lookup of the database hosts, both derive down to the same IP address via a chain of aliases, so it looks like it's the port that is more important.

Thanks,
