Mixed access methods

For any given

method:

declaration, EMBOSS will use that method for those access modes supported by the method.

If you wish to specify which access mode (all, query or single) should be handled by which database retrieval method then the

methodsingle:

,

methodquery:

and

methodall:

declarations should be used instead of

method:

DB mydb [
methodsingle: app
format: fasta
app: "customapp myproteindb"
methodall: direct
dir: \$emboss_db_dir/myproteindb
file: myproteindb.dat
type: P
comment: "single and all access for myproteindb"
]

You can mix these, for example, to use a script to query a file, and direct acces to read all entries,

  methodall: 'direct'
  methodquery: 'external'
