[Genome] Regarding Blat and Genome Browser

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello Lucas,

I asked one of our engineers whether this would be feasible.  Here is 
his response:

-----------------
No, we don't support using anything but mysql at this time.

Although we try to write fairly generic SQL overall, there are various 
uses of mysql-specific extensions to SQL that are in the code, and so 
porting to another brand of SQL database would would be a research 
project in itself.

Since AceDB uses non-standard AQL rather than SQL, this would make the 
job of porting to AceDB even harder than it would be to port to say 
Oracle, Sybase, MS SqlServer, or Postgres, etc.
-----------------

I hope this information is helpful to you.
