[mart-dev] What's wrong with these queries?

[Gabriel Berriz]

Hi.  When I submit the following query to http://metazoa.ensembl.org/biomart/martservice 
:

<Query completionStamp="1" virtualSchemaName="default" uniqueRows="1"  
requestId="biomart-client">
  <Dataset interface="default" name="aaegypti_eg_gene">
    <Attribute name="ensembl_gene_id"/>
  </Dataset>
</Query>

I get the following error:

Query ERROR: caught BioMart::Exception::Usage: WITHIN Virtual Schema :  
default, Dataset aaegypti_eg_gene NOT FOUND


I get similar errors in response to the following queries:

(also to http://metazoa.ensembl.org/biomart/martservice)

<Query completionStamp="1" virtualSchemaName="default" uniqueRows="1"  
requestId="biomart-client">
  <Dataset interface="default" name="agambiae_eg_gene">
    <Attribute name="ensembl_gene_id"/>
  </Dataset>
</Query>


(to http://plants.ensembl.org/biomart/martservice)

<Query completionStamp="1" virtualSchemaName="default" uniqueRows="1"  
requestId="biomart-client">
  <Dataset interface="default" name="athaliana_eg_gene">
    <Attribute name="ensembl_gene_id"/>
  </Dataset>
</Query>


In contrast, analogous queries to http://uswest.ensembl.org/biomart/martservice 
 work fine; for example:

<Query completionStamp="1" virtualSchemaName="default" uniqueRows="1"  
requestId="biomart-client">
  <Dataset interface="default" name="btaurus_gene_ensembl">
    <Attribute name="affy_bovine"/>
  </Dataset>
</Query>



Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong in the failing queries above?

TIA!
