In no particular order...
This is very nice and is going to make certain annotation tasks much easier even at the level of populating a DB with a dozen bacterial chromosomes and hacking on them with raw SQL. In the longer term I think that BioSQLSequenceDB should use a DataSource or some new interface which wraps a DataSource or DriverManager (instead of using the JDBCConnectionPool class). That way anyone can plug in their own e.g. their vendor's ConnectionPoolDataSource. On the schema itself, was there any discussion on being able to track changes to Features? I'm thinking of situations where the a number of people are applying annotation to a genome and want to know "when was this Feature last modified?" I've noticed that it is possible to save an EMBL entry which has no AC line despite accession being 'NOT NULL' because an empty string is inserted instead. I guess this should throw an Exception - shall I make it so?
