Pardon my thickness.

So, for instance, in an array load data file I got from CBIL 
(HG-U133A.forRAD.txt), the ext_db_rel_id column is 2 for all rows, 
where 2 refers to a release id in CBIL's database that indirectly links 
to an SRES.ExternalDatabase record that might represent GenBank?  (Is 
it Genbank, in this case?) And the source_id column might contain the 
accession number of  a Genbank sequence (e.g. U48705) to which this 
probe row is related?

Our GUS instance does not have GenBank loaded yet.  Is it OK just to 
put in a placeholder record for GenBank in SRES.ExternalDatabase and 
then replace '2' with whatever our release id winds up being in the 
corresponding SRES.ExternalDatabaseRelease record?

Thanks,
