Yes, they both were written to enter new data or update existing data. I
recently modified LoadTaxon.pm and haven't had a chance to send a final
e-mail although I did send an e-mail outlining the problem. I'll cc to
the gusdev-gusdev list.
LoadTaxon was modified to merge taxon_ids using the merged.dmp file that
is in the tar ball from NCBI. There is a new command line argument.
--merged that is required. Unfortunately, the plugin was incompletely
tested because I had a bug which affected the merged sub but was not
obvious in tests until after I ran the plugin with commit on and then
only by querying the db. The bug resulted in duplications but only with
a very small number of ncbi_tax_id. I think I fixed the bug and it
looked OK in tests but anyone running the plugin should be aware.
For updates with LoadNRDB, the three options --maketemp, --plugin,
--delete should be included on the command line.
