NAME

       Bio::DB::Flat::BDB - Interface for BioHackathon standard BDB-indexed flat file

SYNOPSIS

         #You should not be using this module directly.

       See Bio::DB::Flat.

DESCRIPTION

       This object provides the basic mechanism to associate positions in files with primary and
       secondary name spaces. Unlike Bio::Index::Abstract (see Bio::Index::Abstract), this is
       specialized to work with the BerkeleyDB-indexed "common" flat file format worked out at
       the 2002 BioHackathon.

       This object is the guts to the mechanism, which will be used by the specific objects
       inheriting from it.

FEEDBACK

       User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send
       your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your
       participation is much appreciated.

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   get_PrimarySeq_stream
        Title   : get_PrimarySeq_stream
        Usage   : $stream = get_PrimarySeq_stream
        Function: Makes a Bio::DB::SeqStreamI compliant object
                  which provides a single method, next_primary_seq
        Returns : Bio::DB::SeqStreamI
        Args    : none

   get_all_primary_ids
        Title   : get_all_primary_ids
        Usage   : @ids = $seqdb->get_all_primary_ids()
        Function: gives an array of all the primary_ids of the
                  sequence objects in the database.
        Example :
        Returns : an array of strings
        Args    : none
