Hey there,

I ran into a couple of problems/questions while trying to set up a
Biomart database.

- When we put a RegistryDBPointer and a MartDBLocation in the
defaultMartRegistry.xml, only the the RegistryDBPointer is used for the
database location and we do not see our local test databases. They do
however show up, if we only use MartDBLocations in the .xml. Is that
supposed to be that way or could both be loaded? 

- We were trying to use Importables/Exportables to combine our datasets
with the ENSEMBL or Uniprot datasets. We had however difficulties to
figure out the exact naming of the corresponding values in
ENSEMBL/Uniprot. Is there a list of all Exportables/importables
somewhere, that one could use to do the matching?

- Would it be possible to use more than two datasets for one query in
Biomart?

- Some of the biomart datasets on the web are already version 0.5 and
hence not compatible with the current release. Does anyone know, when v
0.5 will be available?

I hope these are not to many stupid questions and would greatly
appreciate any help.

Tim
