Re: [GeneX-dev] Downloader

[Todd F. P. <tf...@nc...>]

We will probably be converting the entire GeneX to the MAGE standard which
is in the process of being approved. See
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/microarray/MGED/index.html
Currently, there is a programming jamboree taking place in Toronto. Much
of the groundwork is taking place there to implement the key pieces of
this new standard. The newsgroup for this discussion is:

I personally will be converting the GeneX system to use this new standard.
I am thinking that the downloader needs to be able to handle more than
Postgres. Oracle is my first choice as an alternative. Sybase could be
another. Maybe even MySQL, too. Anyway, if you would like to contribute,
this would be something to consider.
